有一段時間，我們擔心OnLive的流媒體windows7雲桌面服務可能會因為微軟的投訴而出現法律問題，但似乎OnLive不再使用windows7了。如上圖所示，現在是WindowsServer2008。在你擔心這項服務會以任何方式被削弱之前，你應該知道這兩個作業系統在功能上幾乎是一樣的，除了一個改進了很多的觸控式螢幕鍵盤之外，實際上很難區分它們。事實上，改變中唯一有趣的部分是希望OnLive能找到解決微軟許可衝突的方法。

“從字面上說，數百萬個座位。”

當我們詢問時，OnLive證實了這些變化，但不願透露這些變化是否與許可投訴有關：“OnLive從未對任何許可協議發表過評論，”一位代表告訴我們。如果沒有任何證據表明這家流媒體提供商已經走出困境，現在說可能還為時過早，但該公司肯定看好這項服務的未來。事實上，OnLive告訴我們，它有價值數百萬的企業、**和教育客戶在等待名單上：

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.

我們還不確定OnLive的雲桌面將極大地取代現有的遠端桌面服務，或導致“構造性”的企業變革，但我們肯定興奮的是，當開發人員得知這種可能性時，虛擬千兆乙太網連線能做些什麼。

更新：微軟似乎對這個訊息很滿意，但也沒有說明OnLive現在是否符合授權要求。該公司透過電子郵件向註冊中心發送了以下宣告：
