[MUD-Dev2] [DESIGN] OnLive might make MMOs much easier

[Jeffrey Kesselman]

Remove the netowrk latency from the equation and MMos both
become almost trivially easy to implement and have all the flexibility
to do things that local
games can do today.

So that's FAR more important then the virtualization nonsense and I
would agree incredibly valuable.
It also seems incredibly unlikely.

And that's my final comment on the subject.
