This entire article is written as a proposal to a coprporation for a new, very unique computing system. Please offer criticism and suggestions to improve the system, and tell me whether you think it could work. What exactly is the "Edge Computing System" And more importantly, why would I want to go to the trouble of developing it? The Edge Computing System is just that, an entire system, not just a new type of computer or new software suite. The Edge is the means by which you can have your personal computer with you at all times.

The idea is nice but with some many varities of OS it will be very hard to get the uniformity and consistency required. Even if Linux becomes the standard there are already many incompatibilities between distros (POSIX only goes so far) I very much doubt a the seamless software needed will be possible.
And I can hardly see Apple fan-boys giving up their hardware...
