I also found this part amusing: > Somewhere around this point, people began spewing mindless drivel about how browsers would somehow magically replace operating systems eventually, and how in the future all applications would be "web based". This, of course, got Microsoft's attention. Maybe we haven't gotten there completely yet, but holy cow. WebGL, more web-based applications than you can shake a stick at, and OS emulation in-browser. I think it's close. :) One person's future is another person's mindless drivel, I guess. Edit: Oh gosh, it's still being updated. http://toastytech.com/evil/rants.html http://toastytech.com/evil/rants.html
