But one of the crucial steps in getting to your end result is building proof of concepts like this gentleman has done. This guy built a nice little prototype, open sourced it and explained the code for anyone wanting to take it further. Now others can look at the cool stuff he did with JQuery and use it to make their own great web apps. Once there are enough great web apps every layman will clamor for the Desktop OS you want. Which will make manufacturers more inclined to deliver it. That's why Proof of concepts like this are a great thing.
