Yes; the movie where running genuine Microsoft Windows is damn near a requirement if you want to interact with Windows applications.

Using Firefox and whatever for the Google cloud is kinda like running Windos applications in Wine or ReactOS.

Sometimes works better than on the original Windows? I assume that's not what you meant though :-)

I could have meant that. Doesn't Firefox sometimes work better than Chrome?

Oh yes, but Google products are notoriously worse on Firefox, if one is to believe the numerous comments on HN on the topic (although I haven't tried myself recently so I can't be quoted on this), and that interpretation doesn't sit well with your comment.

But you know better than anyone's else what you meant :-)
