As Arnaud Weber, a Google engineer and one of the characters in the comic book, says in a speech bubble: "We're applying the same kind of process isolation you find in modern operating systems." It is a geek's way of saying that developers and consumers may soon stop caring about the operating system on their own hard drive altogether.
Maybe they will stop caring, but I don't think that's what Weber was saying. (I'm not even sure it was a subtext.) I understood Weber's line in a totally literal sense.
