This is an interesting counter to ChromeOS/Chromebooks. Basically Amazon has a 'what your are familiar with, except in the cloud' as opposed to 'this new thing but it's cloud based.' The demerits for both are that you lose the cloud and you're down, someone gains access and you are compromised. So many baked in assumptions in IT about how the local workstation is local.

I wonder what it does to business internet prices too.
