This is an interesting thread - its stuff I've thought about quite a lot. I think the die-hard fans (myself included!) like to keep using their old hardware for the real "experience", and ideas like this are aimed at preserving this. A certain amount of the romance is lost when using UAE, no matter how good it is!
We've recently started using Windows Server 2008 at work, and one of the nice features is the "Remote Application" function via Terminal Services. In previous versions, terminal services allowed access to a remote machine's entire desktop, but with this, individual applications can be sent to a client, from a TS server, as if it were installed locally.
I wondered what the odds of developing a compatibile RDC client for a suitably specced Amiga would be? You could open anything on a Server 2008 box, in Workbench. All the processing goes on in the server, and the presented application is little more than an image.......
Just a thought!
