Cloud is certainly something I'll be watching closely in 2011. I have been using a cloud desktop for the last year courtesy of Citrix XenDesktop and the good people at www.nasstar.com and I have to say it is excellent! Essentially I get my Windows 7 desktop from it and it connects up my email, apps etc. etc. However, despite this release of Chrome, I think the future is <strong>zero</strong> client - not thin client. I've been using the excellent Linux Tinycore for some while but now there's kit like the Wyse Xenith it's all about skinny, skinny client side technology. Firstly, happy Christmas / New Year etc!
