angry tapir writes "Ncomputing on Friday announced a chip that could turn devices like TVs or set-top boxes into virtual desktops through which users can run Windows applications or access the Internet. The Numo chip contains a dual-core processor based on an ARM design that will allow devices to run Windows multimedia applications when connected to a host machine like a desktop or server. The setup uses the company's Vspace software on host machines to set up remote devices as virtual desktops."

somethings wrong with this picture here... You mean there is something that you can use with Microsoft that just works??? I wonder how many incompatible errors, or you have to install updates for this operation work error messages people will get.
