engineer: Your statement that:

"And the appliances may not have an OS in them at all, so what would usoft do? Lots of fun to come...."

is food for thought.

Do I understand correctly that the Q's system can link to the internet directly without an OS?

Agree that if appliances do not need an OS at all, Microsoft will be on the outside looking in. But won't appliances find an internal OS useful in and of itself, or would the appliance be in effect a very thin client and use an internet fat server for its OS?

All most interesting. Many options for phone/appliances in the future, no?
