You mean intergrating the browser into other apps and possibly a kernel??

The Lego system of apps and os is somthing I hope becomes more used in
months to come. Sadly the bulk of the sheeple cry for spoon feeding. Take
a look at the uproar over skins of late. An old idea of customizing your
apps looks now is the whine of the masses .

It seems the more things move to become about parts and building the ore
the mass mindset is about a controled pre built experience.
