But what happens when a (multithreaded) app runs away with 100% CPU and hoses everyone? What happens when a virus or badly written app that your kid downloaded wipes a ton of data?
What you really need is virtualization, one big box that runs different VMs for all your needs. Currently VMs are great for most apps, but not games. That pretty much sinks the home server idea unless you just say screw it and get a console or three.
Hey VMWare are you listening? Game VMs, make them happen. Everything from PCs to GameBoys and Mame. Maybe even one day PS2s and Xboxen. Now that would be cool.
Yeah ok it'll never happen, I can dream can't I?
