I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I've been thinking about how much duplication there is between the OS and the browser -- each has its own navigation, its own file structure, its own applications and plug-ins, and all that real-estate-hogging chrome!
Sure, some businesses are never going to be comfortable with cloud computing, but the rest of us don't really care whether an application is launching from a remote server or a local hard drive. Why should I have to remember whether a file is in Google docs, or saved in Delicious, or nested somewhere on my hard drive? I assume there will be convergence between the OS and the browser at some point -- or are there good reasons to keep them distinct? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
