I was thinking about this awhile ago. Now think of these thin-client
front ends being provided by an ISP with the ISP providing online
storage space and the typical apps people use (Word Processor,
Spreadsheet, etc.) as AJAX applications (or something else hosted). If
the ISP owns the thin-client then a subscriber doesn't have to manage
software or buy new computers and the ISP probably gets a much easier
support environment since the thin-client's only function is connecting
to the ISP's servers. Thoughts?
