This company is providing free virtual desktops that run MS Office and a couple other things. It is not yet without bugs and gotchas, but the direction of the future is really clear. Why carry all the horsepower when you can just connect to it?

Will they mine your stuff for marketing purposes? I cant see a clear ad path ...
It's coming. Right quick too.
