Well, a whole web based OS I understand, and maybe I even get using html5/js to do a few things in an OS interface -- though I'd personally not go that route myself. This though is completely confusing to me. Perhaps the article and video provide a poor explanation, but it seems like I can already achieve the main advantages of this experiment by just pressing F11? I get Chrome OS because it's different and gives a certain set of people what might actually be of some use to them (ie, all data online, you're always in sync, etc). I get enhancing desktop UIs with the things that worked well on the web -- but to start throwing out almost everything that evolved on the desktop just to get a webby feel? Not sure what problem that tries to solve. The most interesting thing though is that after years of hearing that the future of the desktop will be web based, the idea finally seems to have picked up.
