Microsoft Patent Covers Streaming OS Plans

Microsoft Though the patent has only surfaced now, Microsoft has been working on this concept for quite some time. As far back as 2009 similar systems have been discussed on various Microsoft blogs. There was also the Midori OS project that had bloggers buzzing about its post-Windows potential and integration with Microsoft's cloud platform, Azure.

Shouldn't PXE and/or remote desktop count as prior art? Maybe I missed something.

(Also, floppies? Who the hell uses floppies?)
