Not so much a disagreeal but somewhat of an addendum. People want printers, webcams, digital printers, and to do their taxes. Google could offer an upload service through Picasa for photo storage and send you a CD or DVD on request for a small fee. Docs would be free to store. QNX or Amiga would be a great base OS. Easy to maintain, hard to screw up. Covers all the basics. Obviously meant for the "general" or "low use" home user. We are closer to a time when a "network appliance" is more ideal. Broadband is certainly needed in more cases these days. Hancom Office would work great for an embedded or RTOS.
