There's a product from a company called OnLive that lets you run Windows – actually, a remote computer set up with Windows – from your iPad.

NYT gadget guy David Pogue reviewed it today, and he's in love, calling it "crazy cool," " seamless and fairly amazing," and " jaw-dropping, extremely polished technology."

" It opens up a universe of software and horsepower that live far beyond the iPad’s wildest dreams — with no more effort on your part than a few taps on glass."

He particularly likes Microsoft's  Touch Pack add-on, which makes Windows iPad-friendly.

The service is $5 a month.
