Well what started it was this:

# annoying support calls which end in either "reboot" or "re-install"

And while it does happen that support call on desktop Windows from an
end user may end with one of these two options, then it would surprise
me if a support call on Windows server from a sysadm ended with one
of those.

I don't think DaaS is mainstream now.

It could become.

But I am a bit skeptical. The PC has been doomed many times. But the
thin clients or whatever they call it a particular year has never really
gotten traction.

Remember back when Larry Ellison said that the NC would kill
the PC.

I think people actually like their PC's!
