>>>Did I miss something on Splashtop? I use it on my m ASUS transformer tablet, but it is just a way to remote in to a Windows box. I am not running a windows app on my tablet. Without a Windows box to remote in to there is no app to run.

>Yep. So you buy the $399 21" tablet/desktop rather than the new Wintel PC, and keep running lock-in stuff remotely on the existing PC. Who misses out?

>If Splashtop is so foolish as to start requiring W8 or something like that, consider the speed with which mechanisms were published to allow multiple simultaneous RDP logins. In 2013, contrivance to force people to upgrade or keep paying is no longer a smart lock-in strategy, it's an own-goal because it amplifies the difference between the grandpa box and hot new systems. Consider that a fully loaded 21" Android device is to be sold for less than half the price for the software alone if purchased from a grandpa box vendor.

I agree that in many cases running splashtop on your Android 21" desktop would be fine. I do it with my ASUS now and with the Hi Res screen I see my 24" monitor exactly the same on the tablet (albeit on a 10" screen) Works really well.

Just didn't want anyone to be confused that you could actually run Windows apps on an Android.

That said, I'd like to see what Android as an OS could do on a box with 8-16gb of ram, really fast processors and killer video cards. I don't really know much about what the OS is capable of on a larger platform.

BTW this ASUS 700 transformer with the docking keyboard is really really nice. Still find it slower than I'd like but as a netbook it is very nice and a lot of fun to work on.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
