" When the handheld user runs a program, the bulk of the program's 
execution takes place on the MXI server. Just enough data is beamed to 
the MXI handheld to allow a person to view and interact with the 
document. The document that's acted upon--a text file, spreadsheet or 
image--is not stored on the handheld but on the server."

Sounds like Citrix, Terminal svcs., rdesktop, etc. with multiple 
emulators running on the server.  Boring.
