(click on image for full view)2009 was the year of cloud computing - the idea that location of the hosting does not matter, only its scalability does. Cloud computing can be regarded as some sort of a precursor to the idea of a web based OS such as Google Chrome, where we go back to the heavy server, thin client model of yesteryear despite the fact that Personal Computers i.e heavy clients have gotten so cheap.
The reasoning is that PCs require highly complex operating systems and applications which cannot be easily updated and especially maintained. And this despite the fact that remote maintenance capabilities have existed in Windows for almost 20 years, first as third party add-ons and later as built-in components.
It is almost as if low cost Remote Maintenance was discouraged in the name of security so as to make money off onsite maintenance and later take us to the Cloud model where the security is ten times worse. We should instead stick to Personal Computers and let Remote Maintenance services like xpresslive.in mature into an ideal mix of maintenance and security. Note the low subscription amount. It is less than even the license fee of the bundled Advanced System Care Pro.
