Replace the word Apple here with Microsoft and you would be making the argument for open standards and platforms circa 1999-2005. In the end the web was built so we didn't have to download a bunch of software. That is the logical conclusion of this debate.
- enos_feedler 11y agoThe web was not built so we didn't have to download a bunch of software. I think you're making an argument for web apps. The web as a "document" is much older than that. We need an open standard for apps but it doesn't have to be built on top of the web. I think we are going to witness the birth of new app standards built on top of open container specifications that can wrap native binaries.
