>>"Web sites and HTML5 run best when they run natively, on a browser >>optimized for the operating system on your device."
>A more generalized form of the above statement would not be devoid >of fact. it actually misses the point: once the processor has waded through a vast array of code that implements a long and growing list of poorly specified `standards' (which must be implemented in quite specific ways for websites to work) the operating system has little relevance and influence, for this particular task. it's hard to see how a fast Javascript implementation, for example, is especially dependent on the operating system on which it runs, at least for any conventional system. the discussion from which the original statement was taken was certainly a little short on examples where the choice of underlying system made a big difference to either the ease or structure of implementation, or the speed of the result.
