Yeah, I think they probably convert all the media (QT, RM, Flash, etc) to one type of standard format on-the-fly. Then they stream that "movie" to your PPC. If you click on a Flash movie, it then sends that click back to the server. This is all a guess, but I bet I'm close. Watch the demo and you'll see what I mean.

(love Dynamo, BTW).
It is. This is how, btw, Deepfish worked. Has both pros and cons. Time will tell whether it's usable.

With Thunderhawk's Java Applet emulation, certainly the lag was kinda a showstopper with many activities. But Thunderhawk only used image transfers like this for rendering applets, not the entire surface. I only hope this will be FAR faster than Deepfish was.
