with mainframe2 and other companies in the space (such as, khm, Amazon with their AppStream) software vendors get to deliver big old windows applications such as Photoshop, AutoCAD etc to a number of users who either don't have big windows workstations to run them, don't want to bother downloading and installing gigabytes of software, or don't want to pay many $$$ for a perpetual license when they only need to use the software few hours a month. Now they can all transition to SaaS ..
there was another company in the space that got my attention called OTOY. They made partnerships with Mozilla and AutoDesk to deliver AutoDesk tools in the browser, their demos also look pretty cool though I'm not sure what's their commercial offer gonna be, likely not the full stack like mainframe2 ..
