有一段时间，我们担心OnLive的流媒体windows7云桌面服务可能会因为微软的投诉而出现法律问题，但似乎OnLive不再使用windows7了。如上图所示，现在是WindowsServer2008。在你担心这项服务会以任何方式被削弱之前，你应该知道这两个操作系统在功能上几乎是一样的，除了一个改进了很多的触摸屏键盘之外，实际上很难区分它们。事实上，改变中唯一有趣的部分是希望OnLive能找到解决微软许可冲突的方法。

“从字面上说，数百万个座位。”

当我们询问时，OnLive证实了这些变化，但不愿透露这些变化是否与许可投诉有关：“OnLive从未对任何许可协议发表过评论，”一位代表告诉我们。如果没有任何证据表明这家流媒体提供商已经走出困境，现在说可能还为时过早，但该公司肯定看好这项服务的未来。事实上，OnLive告诉我们，它有价值数百万的企业、**和教育客户在等待名单上：

We're steadily improving OnLive Desktop at all levels. Some of the changes are visible (e.g. we rolled out a much-improved on-screen keyboard), and some are behind the scenes and would only be picked up by technical people. These have all been in the works for a long time, and it looks like the only reason a change was noticed was because of the keyboard, but there have been many updates since launch.

As you know OnLive is the only technology that seamlessly delivers Windows with video and Flash on any device (tablet, PC, Mac, thin client), over almost any network, including cellular 4G and Wi-Fi. OnLive works with all versi*** of Windows and Linux as well, and our cost per user is far less than existing remoting technologies, none of which support media at all and often are barely usable on tablets and c***umer networks. With OnLive, remote feels local, and OnLive's advantages across the board have not gone unnoticed. We've been overwhelmed with requests from enterprise, SMB, organizati***, government, schools—all seeking to replace their current remoting technology with OnLive as quickly as possible. Literally, milli*** of seats.

What you are seeing with the OnLive Desktop c***umer product updates are features we are trialing with enterprise customers who are looking to displace their current remoting technology with OnLive (it happens fast because the change is in the data center for the corporation, not device-by-device, like a Blackberry being displaced by iOS or Android). The change in the corporate world will be tectonic. When you see the names with 10s of thousands of remote seats that are dropping remoting technology they've been using for over a decade for OnLive, that will be the big news. So, these changes in our c***umer offering is a preview of what's coming, and needless to say, we need to support all the versi*** of Windows (and Linux) these corporati*** use.

我们还不确定OnLive的云桌面将极大地取代现有的远程桌面服务，或导致“构造性”的企业变革，但我们肯定兴奋的是，当开发人员得知这种可能性时，虚拟千兆以太网连接能做些什么。

更新：微软似乎对这个消息很满意，但也没有说明OnLive现在是否符合授权要求。该公司通过电子邮件向注册中心发送了以下声明：
