Thanks for trying it out! The main concerns people had in the beginning (and I'm rephrasing "why people thought the idea was nuts" here) were bandwidth and latency for getting the data, as well as CPU power for unzipping and unboxing, i.e. converting raw bytes into structured data members. It's great to see it works for accessing a 1GB ROOT file sitting in Asia from CERN. Or for rendering histograms on a Windows phone - any phone.
Now let's see how we can use it and what the next step could be!
