The idea never was to move everything. In fact is just the opposite. Morphic is, from a point of view, an attempt of replicate the native graphics/widgets libraries, already present in modern O.S. into the image. If you look close, today you are already using cocoa... just a small subset of it but is cocoa after all. You use cocoa to create a canvas and display a huge bitmap inside (the world), who actually displays some widgets who resembles something that is already there (windows, buttons, lists, etc.)... so, who rewrote everything and who don't? The idea is: move into the image everything that can be moved there (and makes sense). Esteban
