Browser Wars: What Are They Good For? [View article]
Ever been in an airport, a train station, or on a toll road? It's the real estate man! How can anyone go anywhere on the Internets without going through a browser? I mean, perhaps a Javatard could, but I can't. Having people go through a connecting point makes them susceptible to all forms of marketing.
Plus, knowing Google, they are considering how a browser could be the connecting point to all kinds of applications that would currently reside on your hard drive. Currently these are most commonly either loaded on your computer when you get it, or come in a box. Not in the future, if Google has its way with the cloud concept.
If I were Microsoft, I'd be thinking about this. I'm guessing they're about as far along with this as GM is with well-designed fuel-efficient cars. Which is to say, oh, about 2015 they'll be there.
