Mike - just curious. Did you actually check out those webpages? I know there WAS mention on there about data storage in the cloud. And, I will admit I did NOT look over those webpages closely. But, from what I have heard n the recent past - I believe they ARE actually running apps on servers in the cloud.
Here at my day job we use Teamviewer. And, its not much different - since we can connect to a client and view their desktop - and actually operate "as though we are there onsite". So - for the 3D App to run in the cloud, its not much different - and should NOT be such a stretch of the imagination. -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions, LLC Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 10:52 AM On 5/15/2012 9:59 AM, Kurt Wendt wrote: > Actually Alan - I believe Autodesk is already working on capabilities to > do stuff like AutoCAD in the Cloud.

They're probably just using the cloud for common data storage. -- Mike Babcock, MCP _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140e260...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
