I see all these posts ab having your own data, could you not run a web based client but still store date on your personal hard drive? I would think so. I realize this is different than how web-based apps work as they store your data in a server database but this new kind of web-based operating system would probably be a new paradigm where you could have data stored remotely of course but probably also store data locally. And of course the apps and OS are going to have to be smart enough to work offline. Microsoft already has some technically for things like live excel spreadsheets where it syncs itself up when you online - I think under this new paradigm your apps would behave in a similar way.
