    Indeed....it probably won't take 10 years....and I wonder if OnLive will survive with the advancements in VDI tech recently and some of the features Windows 2012 brings making 3D accelerated hosted services a lot cheaper and easier without any proprietary technologies.

    Windows 2012? You mean Win 8 or are you referring to rumours of a potential hosted successor known as Project Midori?

    This is always a risk though if people buy network dependent product and the company goes under and related infrastructure stops working.

    This could happen to Valve too.

    Yes I know but thought you might be meaning the client OS in this context.
