This really reminded me of the BeOS that tried such similar concept called "Boot to browser". Let's hope this one fare better than BeOS

For truly Cloud computing experience perhaps they can include a RDP or Citrix client so that user can really run rich fat client Windows apps regardless of the client OS

You can also built your own cloud using ThinServer XP
