viliv does look interesting, but it's not really a substitute for the cloud, as you do indicate.
I want to be able to access my data without worrying about the hardware. If I were to be drop kicked into a strange city, but still had internet access, say at a library, I could still get work done with URP, but only if it were in the cloud.
Additionally, once in the cloud, next logical steps begin to emerge, e.g., collaboration and sharing.
URP is so powerful - it's a shame to have it stunted in one area where there is a very robust cutting edge evolving every day.
