I can’t watch the youtube video, I haven’t got an hour to spare on downloading with dial-up ;D

That fact alone would put a giant spanner in there plans (infrastructure, WiMax in the UK is a pipe dream at present) as I guess this is everyone has a thin client and uses on-line applications to work on and save their documents, etc. There is where another spanner goes in the works, I don’t trust companies that much to use on-line applications to work on and store my documents, regardless of privacy statements.

How are they going to protect my data or is it even going to be my data, based on existing services there is I believe something about gmail that it doesn’t belong to you ?

Trust is something I don’t give easily ad with the number of cyber crooks out there I doubt I will trust my data to someone else’s protection. Until they can combat cyber crime how can they possibly protect the masses of user data accessible to these on-line servers.

However this Intel pipe dream even if it were taken on trust is a long way off.
