OnLive doesn't work well for everyone, and you probably won't have access to your game 5 years from now.
For me, the input lag would be too annoying to deal with for a game like a FPS that requires me to aim at a target.
I could imagine playing Batman: AA or AC, or other action adventure games on OnLive, that don't require extreme finesse of mouse movements.

Strange. I keep getting this error "this is not a valid win32 application" whenever I click on the shortcut after installing. I will try again later. Thanks very much for the confirmation.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that other people wont.

It seems like people outside US/CA/UK can't buy anything from onlive without going through proxys and what-not.
Way to go onlive! -

depends on your internet connection, but there will always be a little bit of unavoidable input lag. -
Just tried OnLive so I could play STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl for a few minutes; trying to decide if I want to buy it from STEAM.
Let me first say I am on a WIFI connection; and 30 feet from my router.
When loading, it warns I will experience terrible quality on a WIFI connection. Ignored it and loaded STALKER. Whelp they were right, it was horri-bad. Still allowed me to experience the gist of STALKER, so I was happy about that.
I see OnLive being more of a console thing than a PC thing. I think us PC players want extreme quality and I can see where streaming would have its quality issues. -
The quality of OnLive is compeletely dependent on the internet connection between you an their servers. You wouldn't want to sign up for OnLive outside of the US/CA/UK, you'd experience horrible lag and have a horrible experience.
