Looking not too far into the future, I'd expect to see most laptops/desktops ship with "smallish but sufficient" SSDs, as increasingly content sits in the cloud and is consumed on-demand. In this scenario what does Worldo do about the performance test? I appreciate that SSDs are not going to challenge HDDs on price per GB for the foreseeable future, but OS sizes are not increasing inverse to the reduction in cost per GB.
You're right, but I believe the botnet problem is from 10+ year old hardware running on XP or worse... if these people do upgrade to a SSD laptop then hopefully the OS is more secure...
That's a problem to be addressed *if* the currency takes off in a big way... but if you have a million+ users and mandate the use of a $1 dongle to use the system that wouldn't be too bad... you have to attain a level of adoption that the botnets would actually care.... when we get there we've won.
