I think it was just ahead of its time more than anything else.

I don't think the execution is poor, I think our current technology simply doesn't allow a concept like this to be exceptional.
Employee: captain the ship has sunk
Perlman: Abandon Ship!
Employee: It's a bit late for that, now isn't it
I always had a good time with it, I dunno why so many people hate on it, I mean where else can I get Deus Ex HR for £1 without paying the full price for a PC that can run it, or the game it's self?
I liked how it was coming for tablets but I don't think my internet can handle remotely playing video games.

That somewhat falls under execution that I was implying.

No? The execution is fine, they can't really do it any better than they've done, because technology is limited for that kind of project.

Well not everyone's internet is even close to sufficient to playing the games without the hilariously bad input lag. I would have to pay $89.00 a month to get an internet speed capable of running games and even then they still look like compressed shit.

I've been using it to try out games that don't have demos, which it's pretty nice for. I've bought multiple games as a result too, just goes to show that developers are losing potential sales by not releasing demos.
That aside though, I couldn't imagine actually using OnLive as my primary gaming platform. The controls are laggy and the video quality varies between playable and not-so-playable on my connection, which is alright for a quick 30 minute game trial but not so much for extended play.
