Yeah, I guess don't have to understand now but in the future
eventually we'll get to understand, no worries about it. Microsoft
is moving towards that direction, so are a few other big players,
it's more aimed towards corporates really, so far for consumers
it's not really necessary. Think if it as a way to save money lah,
instead of buying 10 same software to install on 10 different
computers, in the future say, the 10 computers can access this same
software from a server, hence saving money.
There are other advantages as well, such as convinence. For
example, right now you may go to a meeting with your laptop and
think, oh shit i left my work files at home. With this technology
in the future, you can bring your laptop without the files or
programs, and during the meeting, you can access them from the
server directly and run them as if it's in your computer. Sort of
like, you only take what you need when you need it, your computer
is free from being cluttered by all sorts of things.
I hope my explanation is easier to understand.
