[ Cloud Computing ] Re: Role of Windows Appliances and Cloud

Curious how to define Zero OS. Could Java, Adobe Air, Silverlight,
etc., be
thought as Zero OS ?

Possibly there are three or more ways for virtual appliances:
1) Appliances with OSes, dropped on physical machines
2) Appliances without OSs, but with runtimes: JavaFx, AbodeAir,
Silverlight, etc.,
dropped on browsers, maybe directly on some OSes in future
3) Applications without runtimes: written in Java, .NET, etc., droppd
on some runtimes
4) Possibly other ways

Don't know how the current status of these types: how easy or what are
the issues ?
