    We can’t even get reliable broadband across the full US yet (Hughesnet still somehow has customers), i don’t see consumer-VDI being especially popular any time soon.

      They don’t care. It’s a cost-benefit analysis.

      If 5% of users can’t access a VDI because of poor internet connectivity but it means the remaining 95% create an extra 10% of annual profit, they will just tell that 5% to get fucked. Individuals don’t matter to them; only aggregates do.

      They don’t need to stream you a desktop

      They just make all their UIs browser based, all the storage cloud based

      The own everything, they rent it to you, and you can be cut off if you refuse to be exploited.
