Sure. Just like all the other attempts at SaaS over the years. Different names, same ridiculous concept perpetrated by people that have had broadband so long they forget the vast unwashed majority. Anyway, I wish them the best of luck. It would be nice if we didn't need Windows or Mac OS any longer and could just run Chrome on top of a slim Linux for all our computing needs. But I don't see it happening in my lifetime.
