Apparantly, Gael Duval has leaked the first bits of information concerning his Ulteo project to the LXF magazine. "You can't fail to notice that in the screenshot he sent us, Ulteo is running inside a web browser. What's more, the screenshot also shows Duval creating a presentation on the 'Ulteo Connected Desktop'. Ulteo is going to be hosted on Duval's own servers, enabling users to connect to their own desktop from anywhere in the world. [...] The system administration and upgrades will be handled at the server end, as too will application installation. [...] Anyone with a browser will be able to use Ulteo - indeed, Ulteo is going to need a broadband connection to work - as the client will only require Java."

I think you and many of the posts are being a bit harsh. Given the amount of information present about Ulteo, I suggest that it is best to reserver judgement until the product is available for evaluation.
I haven't read the article in LXF magazine that Béranger is commenting on but after reading Duval's response and Béranger's reply, I think I'll take Béranger's opinion on the subject with a grain of salt.
I dislike vaporware as much as anybody but I can wait until Ulteo is released judge it first hand rather than supposition based on a possibly vague article and some screenshots.
