As a matter of fact in the long run pc should become adapted to the habits of these kind of people. Do you think it's their generation only? Nope, i don't think so: a lot of this kind of people in the our generation and in the upcoming generations. I think there right, It,s up to the specialists to get the pc safe without any having to deploy 5 door and 7 locks by the end-user. Again, one of the advantages of google's strategy: application run at their side. (btw, I leave my pc on and logged on too)
After a dozen of years discovering that everything fun is unhealty, finaly some good news! We can eat Pita, pizza and hamburgers as long as we keep cool. Turn the airco a bit lower or get red or get rid of that sweater and fine!
Indeed, with all this fuz about "Web Operating Systems" a la MyOS, Google application platform. Probably Ad financed. I think a Windows/ Vista Personal Edition with the following options certainly makes sense: -Ad financed -Installable from an image -Off line storage via webservices (Amazon S3)of Documents and Settings. Computer crashed, image reistalled, Documents and Settings synchronized from webservice, user application installed again and of we go! -Easy and super fast install and uninstall of applications -A number of free application (basic version of office), payed by advertising -Zero admin e.g. non fragmenting hard disks -Super stable, always use hibernation, almost never reboot.
This takes away about all advantages of a so called Web OS/ Web Application Platform. And I think this is the way Microft is heading. Google might have the fuzz and the hype on its side, but microsoft still has cards to play. Maybe Linux should go that way too.
I think there are some reasons why people think this is the future way of computing. These reasons can be countered quite easily:
1)Provide more software to the home user for free, maybe even sponsored: Office at least. Remove complicated features in basic versions. Really specialized software will never run in javascript especially not for free. 2)Installation: less software to install (point 1), other software should be extremely easy to install and deinstall. 3)Zero admin: e.g. automatic defragmenting etc so you pc keep running fine. If you need to reinstall, all your documents are still there because you will have a webdrive. 4)Provide web drive functionality for a very good prize and super high volumes (e.g. to store movies) 5)Virus scan software should be part of the operating system.
I cannot think of other good reasons why I desperately would want my applications to run on javascript in my browser.
Relying on one huge installation to suply a very large amount of earth's enery would be a very nice target for potential attacks ( terrorist, ET,...). Earth would be like a unborn foetus being cut from it's navel String.
Many years ago i read some asshole's opinion about 'real programmers don't use c++'. According to this guy c and especcially assembly were far more suppioror then c++. I wonder if this dude is still coding his stuff in assembly.
