Oh, that's bad. Quite horrifying reading, that article.

Maybe in the future musicians like us can rent a laptop locally for a
gig since the trend seem to be that applications will be stored "in
the cloud" rather on the computer drive. I mean, with iLook licenses
and in-the-cloud apps it may take less than an hour to set up a
persons customized sophisticated live looping electronics system on
any empty computer. I don't believer hardware can ever replace
software for certain musical application.
