    I don’t know how well that holds. I’m not under the impression that much cloud hardware can be it is reused. Also thin clients tend to have short lifecycles

      I said zero client, not thin client. A zero client is basically just a device that connects to remote computing, not unlike a dedicated streaming device.

        OnLive’s zero-client console wishes to have a word with you.

        Oh wait, it can’t. It’s dead.

        Even zero clients become outdated, with the additional detriment of being 100% dependent on the service they are connected to.
