I totally agree. Some type of distributed, web based, storage system that is secure. And how about application servers? Why should we keep bloat-wares on our local drives? Why not have the manufacturers release their applications on their servers. If and when we need to use it, we simply download some applet and use the application over the web like we use applications over NFS, ofcourse for a small fee. This way we can eliminate harddrives all together from the laptop/webpad/pda/whatever ... and reduce power consumption, weight of the thing as well.
