I watched the video on their site, and afterwards YouTube showed a video for this:
mywowcomputer.com
They look identical except for the logo. Is one of them a clone?

You'd still be able to do that with an X server running on top of Wayland, and there are various ways Wayland apps can be displayed on a remote server, avan on top of X.
P.S. I would love to have some guarantees that X would survive and I would be able to run a GUI app remotely, but something tells me that the days when I was taking that for granted are counted.
Wayland should be able to support remote applications, it just probably won't use the X11 protocol. I've read that some of the possibilities for remote applications in Wayland are more efficient than the X11 protocol (though that doesn't mean they can't be used with X).
What's motivating Wayland-adoption is, I believe, a desire not for fancy animations and useless effects, but for smoother graphics. Nowadays there are all kinds of glitches and other imperfections. Also, Wayland is supposed to make the process of drawing graphics on the screen more efficient somehow and simplify the graphics stack or stuff like that.
It would be good if there was a practice of entrusting the code and all game assets to some foundation that would release the full game under an open-source license 20 years after release.
The premise does not support the conclusion.
Most people I know don't want to customize anything, they just want to use their computers to accomplish a task. The difference between an ordinary user and a super l337 hacker who goes as far as adding panel applets is huge.
There's no point in pirating software on Linux, since almost all the worthwhile apps on it are free. If someone wanted to pirate software, he'd use Windows, since the selection is much greater.
It's especially good for a name like KOffice. I never knew if I should pronounce it Kay Office or cofis (as in cough).
I think it has been somewhat fashionable since KDE 4.0 Alpha to use C instead of K.
