First look: OnLive Desktop
OnLive made its mark with a streaming service that allows almost anyone with broadband access--whether they're on a Mac, PC or other platform--to play a wide array of PC games. OnLive's servers do all the heavy processing--3D rendering and such--then stream the resulting video to client apps via a broadband link. If you can stream an interactive, high intensity PC game over the internet, why not stream productivity apps, too? That's exactly what OnLive Desktop does.
