Now why would they say that if they didn't perceive it as an os? perhaps because they don't have a clue? If you still don't understand, it is not an OS but it bypasses alot of the dependences on the OS. And this is why it is a threat to Windows. When you are surfing around you wouldn't even know it if you were running your browser on Linux. The User Interface is the same. You might even like crashing less. It is a "thin client", meaning there is really not much there and is driven by data from the server. There really is not much to a browser. It parses some code and calls some GUI API's. It is a paradign shift from running "thick clients" like Excel. Let servers do the work. The write once, run anywhere has been the Holy Grail of programmers since the beginning. All we ask is to be given a chance to dethrone the death grip of Windows. Ask any expert in the field and they'll tell you it is a complete mess. And we will do it if given a chance. I'm beginning to despise Microsoft a lot less compared to the greedy, whinning rantings of their stockholders. The tide of the War is turning, our Normandy is coming. Mr. B
