Bandwidth should scare Microsoft: "Microsoft is trying to perpetuate the days of local computing, and I feel they are moving in the wrong direction. [... The] momentum is likely to shift to the other fighter [^] in this case, cheaper, better-prepared applications such as Linux, Firefox, and other Open Source applications available for free." But what about latency? You can't exceed the speed of light, and thus it takes a fraction of a second for information to travel from servers to clients. And there will always be delays in the processing. However, I must admit that the response time of Google Suggest is impressive.
