Thanx for forwarding. In 2005, advance intelligence from the business
world, officially advized the few interested in future
SysAdministration, that:
1. IT OSs were to be moved online, in stages, gradually accustoming
consumers to the idea of Software-as-a-Service;
2. Removal of user choice, back to manufacturer control ( remember
diskless workstations ? ) was the desired goal;
3. Western nations' military were to dry-run the process, through
consortia gradually assuming control over all aspects of e-comms;
4. The eventual aim was cluster-controlled virtualized OS access,
with user requests for services, obtained solely through a browser ( cf.
Google OS ).
This trend is what I'm signalling. UBUNTU has partially adopted the
chimaera, which Linus himself decried as unnecessary, when it surfaced ..
It's not what Win 8/Solaris 11 does now ( partial cloud ): they are
steps on the way to progressively decreasing user control over the OS

" The power of this life, if men will open their hearts to it, will heal
them, will create them anew, physically and spiritually. Here is the
gospel of earth, ringing with hope, like May mornings with bird-song,
fresh and healthy as fields of young grain. But those who would be
healed must absorb it not only into their bodies in daily food and
warmth but into their minds, because its spiritual power is more
intense. It is not reasonable to suppose that an essence so divine and
mysterious as life can be confined to material things; therefore, if our
bodies need to be in touch with it so do our minds. The joy of a spring
day revives a man's spirit, reacting healthily on the bone and the
blood, just as the wholesome juices of plants cleanse the body, reacting
on the mind. Let us join in the abundant sacrament--for our bodies the
crushed gold of harvest and ripe vine-clusters, for our souls the purple
fruit of evening with its innumerable seed of stars ". Vis Medicatrix
Naturae, by Mary Webb, in Spring of Joy: Nature Essays, Constable,
London, 1917 "
