Nvidia Grid - GPU-Accelerated Virtual Desktops: The Future of Computing?

Without a doubt this is the sort of thing that will happen eventually and we already see small snippets that show we are heading in that direction. For example chrome books, nearly everything in done via a web browser. The cloud idea with online storage, you can even get Office online. This newish streaming to a tablet feature, it basically is letting a remote machine do the hard work while you just enjoy the end result.
It will take many years yet but undoubtedly it is the way we all all do things eventually and I don't mean this Nvidia vision but the general concept.

Not interested, it leads to repeat only prescription content that you never actually own and can't access unless you pay them contentiously.
If thats the future of PC gaming then PC Gaming will be a thing of the past as far as i'm concerned.

That's a very good point, but don't worry it will take a lot of years before it gets to that stage, no idea if I will still be gaming in 20-30 years.(or even around by then)
I think it will happen faster than that.
I get the feeling Windows 9 will be repeat subscription based.
Its much more profitable for them if they take control of your content and you pay them for contimued access to it.
Thats the "New and cool way" to do it already, take those meadia streaming sites, hugely successful because todays Kids think its cool to have public play-lists that they don't actually own and can't access off line or without paying subscription fees.
Nvidia / AMD would rather sell their GPU's to large organisations than individuals, Game Developers would rather have their Games rendered by those companies on those GPU's remotely from their user base, again with repeat subscriptions for access for games that are streamed to you, through an environment like Miscrosoft who also want to stream that to you in return for, guess what....

If you take in what Microsoft have been saying recently is that what they claimed about Win9 has been binned and the new Windows OS will be Tablet/PC shared aka Win8 mk2

Gaming, more so games that require a specific degree of user control and finesse, would not be that fun to play, especially if you've tested or played on dedicated hardware for some time. Facebook games and the sort might work just fine and cloud storage plus some applications would work great indeed, it's just not a thing to fit them all.
+1.
Plus the need for proper internet connexion AND the supplier's servers being able to sustain the kind of load and "snappiness" (lag/ping wise) required.
They can pry the games from my cold dead hands. This was/is/always will be a terrible idea.....reason boys and ghouls........Latency until we have infostructure to handle this it will never be a good idea.....
only place it possibly might work in the next 10 years in Japan as their infostructure shames most of the rest of the world.
