Rich Clients
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
Ronald Schmeltzer of ZapThink has a piece out calling for the creation of "rich clients" to serve web services.
It's an interesting point. Where you put required software is important. But he's thinking of it in terms of software living either on a client PC or a Web server PC.
I think that's a limited view.
The most important place for applications to live in the future will be firmware. That is, they will be burned into silicon, shipped as boards, that either act as discrete devices or are added to them.
This will be especially true with home networks.
