What do you mean by virtualising applications?
So that's it then? Virtualisation has evolved to its end-point? That seems more like an indicator of further change rather than things staying the same to me.

sorry i mean application virtulaization.. ie: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ent...tion/app-v.aspx
Nope, that wasn't the intent of my post. Virtualisation will evolve, as will other technologies. My intent was to prove that it isn't a new concept - it was in response to the quote "...but just have a look at how they are starting to virtualise apps now...".
No-one here is saying that things won't change. Cloud computing isn't a new concept, it's the extension of an old concept and you'd have to be pretty brave to bet the bank on the next new technology to take off.
i meant how they are doing it, not that its a new thing.
they will be. in fact the way it's been described to me is that there wont be a server with exchange installed on it. you will just have exchange as a virtual app, this would enable you to move this to any server or site. that's how I understand it anyway..
probably be told i'm wrong in the following posts.... ......
Windows < Mac OS < Linux...who wants to talk about whether OSX is beeter than Windows 7?
Windows < Mac OS < Linux
Yes, but only in a similar way that Babbage might have forseen the iPad (not that I'm putting that forward as the pinnacle of technology). I'm sure you follow.Cloud computing isn't a new concept, it's the extension of an old concept
My previous rhetoric notwithstanding, yeah you're right. But there is a lot of money being made (and therefore invested) in cloud technologies already and it isn't even properly known what the cloud will even be. Unless something really bloody bad (i.e. worse) happens with someone like AWS this idea isn't going away in a hurry. Just beacuse it isn't new doesn't mean it can't gain momentum that will take people off-guard.and you'd have to be pretty brave to bet the bank on the next new technology to take off.
I don't suppose you catch public transport to work do you? I'm on the train every day and without fail I see a minimum of $5k worth of iPads on each carriage and I don't think that number is going to go down any time soon. At what point do you think these people are going to stop and wonder "Wait, why do I have this and a computer?"? I don't think it is all that far away.However the virtualisation is a bit silly, as you're virtualising operating systems that were designed to run on hardware. It's a stop-gap solution in that regard.
Sure. But that doesn't make the cloud not a thing any more.But it's beside my particular point anyway, which is that the term cloud computing is a shit one that is deliberately misused by parasites in the industry.
Yes, nothing runs on linux.Sorry, I forgot about Linux. But most people do, don't they...
Internet didn't change the world. Right.Hey bum, do you remember the Dot Com boom of the mid to late 90's? Every fucker who knew how to open Netscape ran off and pumped their millions into these new fandangled Website-thingys due to it being the next best thing about to take off and radically change the world.

Saw no reason to read the rest. Someone quote him if there's something I should address. Thanks.
