As a borderline physical media obsessive, I’ll stream
it and buy it! The cloud does everything I want it to
do, so I’m pretty happy with how things are.Ian Osborne
Editor
How long will it be before you can move your entire
computer to the cloud, and boot it from any web-
connected device? That would be awesome.Martin Smith
Group Senior Designer
A way to merge all your Cloud Storage options
into one place. I have DropBox, Creative Cloud and
iCloud. To consolidate somehow would be great.Bob Canning
Staff Writer
Remember OnLive, the gaming service that ran the
games in the cloud and squirted the video to your local
device? I’d love to see it reborn.Alison Drew
Sub Editor

extraordinary. Nevertheless, it is important not to rely
solely on it as your backup; no-one is perfect.David Hayward
Contributor
I'd like to see more virtual operating systems on the
cloud. Windows 10, macOS, Linux, even some older
operating systems to run legacy software.Alyssa Falcon
Staff Writer
I wish Apple would make a ChromeOS-like
operating system for obsolete gear. It could bring
your old notebook to life, as an Apple Chromebook.Karl Linstead
Production Manager
