So... plans to take the OS out of the equation, making the browser into the OS, well underway. In totally unrelated news, random malware websites can now view your tax returns.

I think you've basically hit that one on the head: the browser will become the OS.

Of course, there are many, many layers of abstraction underneath that need to be really strong (such as HTML). But there's always going to be a business for the graphics drivers, the hardware...

But I suppose we'll begin to see 'cut down' Windows OSes that only run a web browser...
