I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Isn't it easier to have a Windows OS and a FireFox browser?

Well, Ergot, I want to try this out but I keep getting "we're too busy" messages from the website.

Do you remember when there was the idea, "Soon, MS is going to start having people download the application software and you'll pay a fee based on how much you use it."

Way to pave the way MIT.  ::)

Web based OSes are the stupidest ideas ever. Unless you trust your personal information with a server owned by a company. Sorry, I feel safer with my harddrive. If I want to access it on the go I'll get a laptop.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Things like Web-based OS' are already in massive use.  I don't know if you've heard of Citrix, but it's pretty similar to this idea.  A client runs on a local OS (something like Windows CE on thin clients, but any OS that has a supported client for the ICA protocol works) and connects to a Citrix server, which publishes a desktop of multiple applications.

For lower budget companies, this sort of thing is a life saver.  My school has been using Citrix for a while.

I totally agree, though.  I'd never use something like this on my home computer.
