OnLive: Let's play in the clouds?

OnLive President Steve Perlman said that his company received a patent for OnLive Game Service, a technology for cloud-based gaming services.
The patent describes the already known method of launching games on remote servers and the transfer of an interactive video stream to a player (on a computer or MicroConsole game console).

The biggest and bold plus of this technology is the ability to run the most demanding games of the game on almost any computer (Windows, Linux or Mac OS X), iPad, TV and Android phones (at the beta testing stage).
From the user side, only broadband access to the network is required.

The OnLive service launched in June of this year, but the patent has been received just now.
