All PC-s with classical hard drives are already legacy. Check this out: "Solid as rock" http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2499&ref=y

Samsung has announced the world's first PC with a NAND flash-based solid state disk (SSD). The joy comes from the fact that the 32GB SSD makes Samsung's 12.1", 2.56 pound Q30 notebook completely silent. With the spinning hard disk drive gone, there is absolutely no noise. In addition, the SSD can withstand twice the impact force of a traditional hard drive, offers 300% faster reads (53MB/sec) and 150% faster writes (28MB/sec), boots into Windows XP 25-50% faster and weighs roughly half as much.

Will you buy one?
Cheers, Roman

Aloha! Roman!

The "OS" (Operating System) WILL BE On The Server Side (e.g. Windows LIVE) & U Won't Even Know What The OS Issssssss... It'll Jus'Work!!!

And...how exactly are you going with connect without an OS already on your machine?

And...how exactly are you going with connect without an OS already on your machine?

Gee, what a silly question ...
What will happen is the motherboard makers will start bundling a small boot loader into the BIOS of the machine which will recognize the hardware and connect to the Live service.
Of course, they'll need a UI in case the user's network settings are a bit off and require some user intervention.
And then there'll have to be some kind of driver mechanism for hardware the bios doesn't recognize, which will necessitate some sort of removable media support on the computer -- maybe a floppy or a CDROM or something.
Pretty soon after, they'll start making the BIOS UI more robust as newer hardware comes on the market, and the UI will get slicker and have more features. It may even use your mouse (wow!) and could even put your video card in a graphic mode to really make things pretty.
Then because each M/B manufacturer was using their own code and interface, and hardware manufacturers were getting increasingly angry, some standards committee will be assembled to unify the functionality of the BIOS UI and its driver interfaces. More likely, some upstart software company will develop a superior BIOS UI that all motherboard manufacturers will license.
Eventually the BIOS code just won't fit on a chip anymore, so some internal storage unit will be required. Usually the cheapest forms of storage will be supported first. Computer manufacturers might even preload the BIOS UI onto the internal storage unit.
For performance reasons, applications will start to be written that can run directly from the BIOS UI. The BIOS UI developers will start documenting their API's and let 3rd party developers write applications for it. The BIOS UI will go through many revisions, and eventually support multitasking and could even take advantage of some of the nifty VMM features of the CPU.
The internal storage unit will have to get larger as more and more applications are written and users want to store some critical information on it in case their internet connectivity is flaky.
It won't be long before someone writes a spreadsheet application for the BIOS UI, and then its all over. Nobody will want to connect to the Live! service to run their "true" OS anymore.
I'm sure glad View Master hasn't thought this all the way through -- he could make a killing in the BIOS UI business.

....and all of that will be ubiquitous in what, three weeks from now, huh?

I am not sure of all this talk of replacement of pc with OS or getting rid of storage.
There is always need for cheap PC for some people to have access by using pay as you go. However there is also people who want full control and ownership of their information hence wants their own storage.
Sure there is the network, but would everyone put all their personal and financial info out on the net for crooks to crack and profit.? not till the day there is proof positive there is no software bug and vulnerability, or no more crooks. We know the possibility of that in the near future.

I am not sure of all this talk of replacement of pc with OS or getting rid of storage.

....We're Talking "OnLine/Web-Based" Storage, Here! (It Is Already Proven NOT To Be a BAD Thing!)

There is always need for cheap PC for some people to have access by using pay as you go. However there is also people who want full control and ownership of their information hence wants their own storage.

....This Is The Current State of The "OnLine/Web-Based" Model!

These SoCalled, 'vulnerabilities' [e.g. "The Possibility That a Hacker Could Take Control of a Machine..."], Are For The Most Part, Discovered In University Computer Labs On College Campi Or Professional Computer Labs & Have NO Real World Application & Would Go UnNoticed Were It Not For The "Scare" Tactics of The Lying Main Stream Media!
Most Losses of "Secure" Data Are Associated w/The Actual Physical Loss of The Hardware Containing The Data i.e. Laptops, PC's, Or, Employee Theft of Data, Internally! ...NOT Hackers!!!
The Shift From a PC Based OS To a Web Based OS Is NOT a BAD THING!!! ...Plus There Already Exists a Proven Track Record For This!

These SoCalled, 'vulnerabilities' [e.g. "The Possibility That a Hacker Could Take Control of a Machine..."], Are For The Most Part, Discovered In University Computer Labs On College Campi Or Professional Computer Labs & Have NO Real World Application & Would Go UnNoticed Were It Not For The "Scare" Tactics of The Lying Main Stream Media!
Most Losses of "Secure" Data Are Associated w/The Actual Physical Loss of The Hardware Containing The Data i.e. Laptops, PC's, Or, Employee Theft of Data, Internally! ...NOT Hackers!!!

Show me how you came up with this information -- your assertions so far in this thread have just been obvious trolling attempts, and people who've replied are only humoring you until they get bored.

The Shift From a PC Based OS To a Web Based OS Is NOT a BAD THING!!! ...Plus There Already Exists a Proven Track Record For This!

There will never be a complete shift to a web-based OS. Ever. Web appliances will become more powerful as time goes on -- for example, refrigerators can already re-order supplies online. However, I and most other people don't use their refrigerator for surfing the web or doing our taxes.

Haha, whats the bridge for? To jump off? I too like my files on MY hard drive. Privacy is an important thing that the people believe in. They aren't going to give all their personal files away. You say this will happen in the next few years? What are we going to do with the computers we already have? Hey, there are plenty of just fine computers out there. Oh, and thats a good question that I have always wondered... "Without an OS, how do you connect to a network?" I already know what you will say: "It's all new, you don't know"
Oh, and please stop typing your messages like a 14 year old girl would -- Robert Firth

Haha, you give me a link to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit! I can go in there and change the article to say that it will cure cancer as well, if it doesn't already.
I understand the concept. I just want my stuff on my computer. It's a privacy/ownership thing. Identity theft is bad enough as it is. -- Robert Firth
