    Nah. Network transparency should have been a userapp as soon as clients were powerful enough to run an os and display server by themselves.
    The network requirement really complicated development, stiffled innovation:
    • Drag and drop took AGES
    • No widgets in memory server
    • Security (Hello IRIX, Hello Kerberos)
    • ICCCM anyone
    • Latency problems on a $$$$$$$$$$$ Sun multicore, win3.1 486sx responds faster,
    • Read the source Luke
    • Gnome KDE wars
    • oops I lost my kerberos ticket again
    • GL, DPS extensions (yuck)

    Point is, clients will never have insufficient power anymore to justify the need for network transparency (most phones nowadays are faster than computers 15 years ago), response time, speed, features such as video, gl and compositing are far more important than maintaining network transparency.
    Besides, X is just terrible for networked display in the current age. Just compare the bandwidth of streaming a DivX with streaming DivX over X.

    Not a great analogy. Can you try again only with more cars?

    A V8 powered car with 4 cylinders disabled advertised as a V4 powered car.

    People are getting exactly what is advertised.

    Thank you for sharing the investment bankers perspective.

    Where's the problem?

    The deal has a bad smell to it; you buy a V8 and get the disabled V8. Whether you go for the bait or not, you either payed too much for your (disabled) V8 (at least for services you don't need such as this artificial limiting) or (and?) aided intel in chip dumping.
