George Orwell comes to mind here.... *your* apps running on publicly hosted systems now!   lol

Gosh, can I run Quicken on someone else's system too? Guess it's not much different than filing your taxes online  ;-)  

And who cares about running stuff on a "minimally processed system". When has anyone cared about owning "the minimum", especially in a WinDoze world?

Many of us know and have known about these things. Question is, how to combat it?? I mean, REALLY combat it? Too many people trained and willing to be 'cattle' in these times. Too many people willing to sell out. Sell their families, friends and neighbours. What's worse - is that *THEY* do not see anything wrong with being such {bleep}s! They actually feel that the lives they live *IS* for the greater good for their families/business's. I do what I can by boycotting Wal-Marts, cell phones, blindly following trends, totally boycott most of what's on TV, reality shows, lawyer/doctor shows, purchasing anything from large corporations in general and caring about the mainstream and what is popular (and the list CAN go on) - but I KNOW I'm definitely in the minority here.

Until there are better solutions, knowledge without power is a total waste and makes us look like fanaticals, conspiracy loons or rebels.
