I'm sure that others have opinions here, but to my mind the browser *is* an OS, with the application layer being AJAX patterned apps which can be run in online and offline state. So we're kind of already there.

All we need to do is tune the UI a little, but you can see bookmarks <-> shortcuts, history/cache/storage <-> file system, extensions <-> plugins/system helpers.

"The network is the computer," indeed!

cheers,
mike
