After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

can you say cluster?
Needed apps will be "simple" scripts glueing together very high level widgets (also maintained by internet OS). Portables will be able to harvest "in range" processing power.
from a hardware point of view this is my take on "NextGen"
easy clustering... one case, a lot of slots, processor daughter boards and a good old competition between tycoons to push the cheapest versions of motherboard/daughterboards.
"Next gen" will also have an internet managed OS: I just subscribe to a site that does the managing... and use any "next gen" computer I have access to transparently. Personal data/files will be held on some CF Xtreme
