I do think this guy is wrong…in more then one aspect!
First, he doesn’t mentions the fact of banwidth. How many of the avarage user give the upload speed a thought? In order to be able to sent a massive amount of data in a backup process you need speed…upwards, that is. Are you guys prepared to pay for that?
Secondly, how are we being able to watch live TV trough the ” cloud”??! While connected to my homeserver I’ll stream whatever I like thru my 1 Gb switch with no glitches or dependencies of any ISP connected to a cloud somewhere…
Do I really have to say any more;-)?
When it comes to a SOHO enviroment, a local computer and a stable OS rules, IMHO. Did I mention I hate acronymes….*S*
I have always been waiting for the technology to catch up. I would not wait for the internet to get to the same performance as my home network. I agree with repairman. We finally have an in house solution that just works with home server. I am waiting for the new version of HS and I think we will see a centralised recording and tuner pool. Yes in a LONG LONG time we might have cloud based solutions, maybe even a hosted home server service like exchange . But for now. Backup and central storage of data you cant beat home server.
Listening to this podcast, made me think that Extenders aren’t dead. Think about it, RemoteFX, the next version of Remote Desktop might be the solution, as it will play HD, Silverlight and what not, in a relatively low power device.
Eventually, through RemoteFX, an Xbox 360 would be able to play Silverlight, Flash, whatever we throw at it.
What do you think?
