Hahaha. So you want to tell me that people will use
fancy 3D desktops over a X network connection? 3D
Pinball over Remote Desktop is just about
playable...over X? Not a chance.
Like I wrote before... in the country where I'm at, people would rather use
a game console than a PC to play games, purely on the basis that it's too
much trouble to run "INSTALL.EXE" on Windows, and much easier/simpler to
just shove in optical media and have the game "pop-up". Feel free to draw
your own conclusions.
Really? You mock those who are asking for GUI stuff
now when things are run locally (and it will always be
so) but expect them to settle for GUI stuff over a
remote X connection or agree to buying some device
that is remotely controlled/managed and pay to use the
GUI stuff too?
I never mocked anyone. All I stated were two observations of my own:
1. it's faster and more efficient to run a simple CLI command than click
around
2. desktop as we know it has no future.
Great. Hopefully that means games on Solaris-based PCs
too and therefore consumer Solaris and no more buggy,
malware ridden Windows everywhere.
We brought that upon ourselves. Nobody forced us to use Windows and create
enough momentum so that it would effectively kill all competition. Only our
own ignorance (humanity's as a whole) and computer illiteracy did that.
