The shift toward hardware independence
,----[ Quote ]
| Changes in technology and the work environment have acted as catalysts
| for improvements in many other office operations and devices--most
| significantly, the use of the traditional desktop computer with
| installed, licensed software that tethers an employee to a dedicated
| workstation. The growing number of mobile employees that work in a
| "virtual office" need, and are demanding, access to their files andd
| ata without being restricted to an individual PC or intranet. This
| evolution is the driving force behind the Software as a Service revolution.

The article fails to mention Linux Live CD's and Linux on a USB stick, among
other methods for having a portable work environment. Services, in any case,
are largely delivered by Linux servers.
