Analyst Quotes
"Spoon introduces a new angle on cloud computing, using a hybrid client/server execution technology to combine the best of the Web and the traditional desktop. The availability of solutions that are free and directly integrate into existing websites promises to bring cloud computing to a much wider consumer audience."

“The PC games industry is looking for ways to leverage the power of the Web and social networks to help drive consumer demand. Yet until now there hasn’t been a good way to deliver graphically rich games online while preserving the responsiveness and offline capability of the local experience. Spoon’s technology enables game developers to bring their games to the cloud for free with no additional development.”
Michael Cai
Vice President, Video Games
Interpret LLC
"Spoon's technology enables games makers to distribute games from the cloud with no incremental cost or development burden. Given steadily increasing demand from gamers for online games, especially on social networking sites, we believe there are significant opportunities for operators who can deliver the means by which games makers satisfy this demand."

Screen Digest
“Aberdeen research shows that there is strong year over year double-digit growth in companies deploying cloud-based applications. Technology like Spoon's that allows software developers to easily package existing software to enable SaaS-based business models without requiring any code changes is key to continuing this trend by reducing costs and time-to-value.”
Richard (Dick) Csaplar
Senior Research Analyst, Virtualization and Storage
Aberdeen Group
“App virtualization continues to be a growing area of interest among enterprises with IT departments challenged with application distribution and ensuring employees have access to the apps they need wherever they are. Products that work over HTTP wide-area networks and do not require admin rights, device drivers or any special infrastructure are well-placed to address these IT challenges in a cost-effective and easy manner.”
