I feel that the whole web concept using a browser based interface is a bit hyped now. And anyways believe it or not, iPhone is the first true Web OS. And so is Google Android. It's sad Microsoft hasn't taken this kind of thing seriously yet.

I'm sort of pleased. Look what happened when they took Netscape seriously. We got years of crappy IE dominance.

The longer they flap around all confused while the rest of us move forward, the better.

Pretty soon the advantage of silverlight/flash over HTML5/js will be 0. It's pretty slim as it is IMHO.

How so? Are they executing core OS code on some cloud?
