Play your desktop PC or MAC OSX games and use applications like Microsoft Office on Apple iPad, Android or TV

OnLive is a cloud gaming platform: in which games are synchronized, rendered, and stored on remote servers and delivered via the Internet.
The service is available using the OnLive Game System, PCs running Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Intel-based Macs with OS X 10.5.8 or later, Android devices and iOS devices. Since the games are rendered on OnLive's servers, a low-end computer may be used to play any kind of game as long as it is able to play video. For that reason, the service is being seen as a competitor for the console market. All games on the service are available in 720p format. OnLive recommends an Internet connection of 5 Mbit/s or faster, and a 2 Mbit/s connection meets the minimum system requirements.
In this Consumer Electronics Show, OnLive announced "OnLive Desktop" an iPad application. OnLive Desktop uses virtualization technology to create a remotely hosted Windows 7 desktop. 




Firing up OnLive Desktop on the iPad 2 presents a full-screen Windows 7 desktop, with access to Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. These are the full Windows Office apps, running in a virtual Windows 7 environment on the company’s servers. The apps and the Windows 7 environment makes good use of the touch interface on the iPad, including an onscreen keyboard.

What makes this service and iPad app so unique is that it allows you to run Windows and Microsoft Office, even if you don’t own either one. The free service gives you full access to the Office apps, and up to 2 GB of free document storage. Paid service with greater storage capacity is in the works for those who need more space.

Using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in OnLive Desktop is just like using them in Windows, because that’s what you are doing. The iPad 2 is just the window into the OnLive system.

OnLive Desktop supports Bluetooth keyboards to make typing long documents easier, also the Office UI(Office Ribbon) works flawlessly in touch interface.


Currently OnLive Desktop officially supports Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Aside from Office, OnLive gives access to Windows Media Player for streaming video and supprot for Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7.

But Windows 10 is a decent compromise if you want a stable OS with modern features like DirectX 12. Earlier OEMs used to bundle PCs and Laptops with crapware, with Windows 10, now Microsoft themselves bundle crapware. Welcome to Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
