I guess navigator is an OS across multi computers, while Window is limitted to one single computer. We can also say navigator is a dynamic OS system and it is much
more flexible than the traditional OS which is just sitting in one single computer.

Correct.., except for the part about the OS.

seriously, a browser does what it's told. What you're referring to
as an os would be the code being fed to the browser. see?
Very basic things like video drivers and file management would
have to be coded in a way that the browser could interpret it and
then control those devices..., now it's starting to do what an os
does. Then you add your apps.

Until high bandwidth modems are everywhere the discussion is
really quite moot. Navigator's been confused for an os because
it's an interface and the average brain thinks because it doesn't
leave navigator it doesn't really need windows. When the doj
sees how far navigator is from an actual os I think nscp will be
sent to its room for a little time out.
