Pulling all those assets into a browser means that they have optimized 
their vdm for speed not size.  I know at present I need over 120MB of 
storage for assets.  For embedded systems I wonder if that is a rather 
large requirement.

In order to do that they must have a development branch that keeps 
assets separate.  With Aurawin SCS I have 2 domains.  I use directory 
templates and keywords to manage different "boot" modes for each domain 
that has the EXACT same file base. This way daily.aurawin.com under 
Chrome shows me exactly what I'm looking at.  Without that, development 
is a MAJOR PITA.
