RE: "Perhaps the question you're really asking here is "Why isn't the
*desktop* a browser?", not "Why isn't the *OS* a browser?""
I think Calum hit the nail on the head. This is how I interpreted the
question. I don't really have an answer, but I think the question begs
some really important thinking about OS design. Got me thinking!

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
