What processor would be that powerful and what phone has that much memory?

I just don't see this working has a success, but more of a horror story. ๐Ÿ˜•

Don't be so optimistic with the new era of computing going to cloud, it would probably be more beneficial to have a pxe device (just putting theory out there) that gives you two or more options for an OS. Therefore eliminating the large amount of memory problem. Cloud flashing I would call it and based on device it should be a service offered by providers to give customers what they need to have CHOICE ๐Ÿ™‚

And pxe is also called network booting, if you, or a company have a server you can run multiple PC's using the server (did I mention the client PC doesn't necessarily need an HDD).

I've used vmware on servers for years. More or less it runs linux, then allows you to run environments as emulator "windows". (Pardon the pun). I've had six or seven servers running on what used to run on one. Granted servers are not as abused as an end user os. That being said if any company can pull it off, these guys can.
