Must be talking about Microsoft. They never had a real desktop anyway.
The browser metaphor in XP and Vista adds yet another layer between you
and your play or work. How do I turn off the MS browser? Chrome can't
help but be an improvement, although online applications remind me of
the nightmares of 20 years ago and 10 years ago using remote
applications. Online is faster now, but is it really better?
My mom says that she gets an extra hour of rest several times a week at
work because the remote servers keep going down.

"The desktop is dying. Long live the browser."
"But the desktop, the operating system, shows no sign that it can keep up
with the innovation happening around browsers."
"the desktop has underperformed. Microsoft's Windows Vista, by almost any
measure, has been a disappointment. It's been more 'ow' than 'wow.'"
So is this a battle for Google to win or do they just have to wait for MS
to lose?
