Montag, 18. Januar 2010
Why ?

Surveyadvantages
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
The advantagesthe biggest advantage (imho) of cloud computing for users would be ubiqious presense of applications and data.
data can be accessed from everywhere (PC, laptop, girlfriend latpop, www)
You can delegate upgrades/backups to the service provider
No need to install software
easy interaction with other users
You don't need to worry about losing your work if your machine crashes
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
So a shiny happy new
world is comming ?
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
Is this trend good from a free
software perspective ?
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
Where is the place for classic Desktop applications like
KDE SC in 10 years ?
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
Surveydisadvantages
Montag, 18. Januar 2010
The disadvantages
the security of your personal data. Where are your files stores? By whom? In which legislation. user data might be not
encrypted
dependency on 3rd party infrastructure (hot spots, internet, lan)
hosting is highly non-trivial
