I don't know if I think they're pointless. The idea is reasonable, for some use cases. Personally I won't use a cloud desktop, or even remote desktop on a local LAN for any real work. Just the ever so small lag on remote desktops on a local network drives me absolutely nuts.

The idea is pretty good, for light office work, but as it stands now, I wouldn't subject anyone to using Cloud desktops for any extended period of time.

But the title is pretty confusing, when you think that cloud desktops are pretty terrible and now some one claims that they are even worse.
