This seems like a very desktop-focused view of things. I appreciate that
that's important, but please keep the server room in mind as well. In our
environment, the network is like electricity -- if it's down, nothing is
running. Having the software designed to be robust against unexpected
network glitches is very useful, but if design decisions are constantly made
with the assumption that networks are a random transient resource, we'll end
up conceding our place in the data center in exchange for an incredibly tiny
slice of the desktop pie.
