I disagree with this. An OS is whatever apps run on, and you could write things that most of the next generation of web apps would run on. I believe Parakey was (and perhaps still is) intended to be such a platform.

I think the author is referring to the OS role of controlling applications centrally, the way the f8 platform controls facebook apps. Something that a lot of decentralized web apps run on is not the kind of OS the author is talking about.
