The future of web-based OS
August 6th, 2008

As you might have heard Microsoft is reportedly developing an operating system with code name Midori. The idea is the new OS would replace client based system today with the a system that reside on the Intranet.
This idea is not new of course, there was a time when people thinks Computer as a consumer electronics, which simply a terminal to access various informations (think teletext). Suddenly history has repeated itself. My life is now fully web-based, I don’t actually care what OS and application I am using as long as I can get the job done.
Does Microsoft tried to stop Google domination by once again inventing a platform based on the web or the future will be more fruitful where we can choose any flavour. Comments?
