Although I love you, you are missing the point.  Yes, I do still run
every day remote applications.  My desktop is just a terminal of my
desktop, but people with a single computer rarely do distributed
computing.  

Regular people do not do distributed computing.  And those constitute
most of the users out there.  Not because they dont want to, but
because they dont care about it.

So all your machines share the same file system?  I very much doubt
so.  Maybe your home directory.

Problems and bugs that must be fixed.

Miguel.
