The advantage is that PCs don't need to be upgraded and really old machines can be used to run modern software. It also makes administration a lot easier because there is only ever one copy of an application. |
Well, I'd echo the "they're making it up comment", except that there is a
product called SoftGrid (
http://www.softricity.com/products/index.asp), which sounds similar to that description.
Cutting through the marketese (and that wasn't easy), it's a networking application. But then, so is Windows Explorer
But "generic name", definitely not.
