Help Newb get started

Hi Everyone

I am just learning about online desktops and I am really excited about 
the gnome projects efforts. Could someone help me clear some things up?

Is Gnome online a near duplicate of the Gnome desktop, do we still use GTK?

It looks like there is access to a terminal, assuming that someone can 
view the online desktop from windoze, does the shell have hardware 
access on the windows client machine?

It sounds like this project is in the early stages. Does anyone have a 
guess as to when a windows user would be able to have access to a 
reliable online gnome desktop, suitable for commercial use?

Sorry for the dumb questions. I really like the Gnome desktop but I was 
reluctant to chance PyGtk as my toolkit for Windows Apps. I have been 
learning WxPython. If Gnome desktop will be here soon enough, that might 
not be necessary.

Thanks-Patrick
