#2I might suggest changing the text color of the quote - it's very hard to read some of it on the bright-sunlight background.
So is this basically software run on a remote machine, but presented visually and interactively VNC-style in my browser? Looks a lot smoother than VNC, of course, just trying to get a feel for what the product is.

#4It sounds great (we will see if it is of course), but then there is some stuff about outsourcing on the infographic page which just confused me. What does outsourcing have to do with running my application on their servers? Are they offering an outsourcing service?

#7To be clear, this does not run software in the browser; it runs software in the cloud and displays it in the browser. Given the possibility of actually running apps in the browser I think this distinction matters.

Excellent point. I doubt that non-techie users will make that distinction, but agreed that its not quite accurate.
