| Pyro is an intriguing proof-of-concept, but it's hard to imagine it becoming

| answer a lot of important questions about the implications of Internet
| desktop convergence.

Desktop On Demand - New WebOS Launches

| The product is being built by a company called Defuturo, which says
| that the core of DOD is the Linux Gnome desktop environment "and the
| growing myriad of applications constantly being developed for it." So
| it is using an open source platform and building a virtual desktop
| service on top of that. DOD aims to extend rather than replace a
| local computer, but I think they need to work on their messaging
| on how exactly they'll do this.
