The new GUI is the browser (Score 1)

I do not think the mayor shift is in the OS. I think that all our precious applications are moving online to the browser. Our email is handled perfectly by http://gmail.com/, http://writely.com/ handles our documents, http://del.icio.us/ stores our bookmarks, http://openomy.com/ stores our files... We can even access project management tools online (and for free) ...the OS main purpose is/will be to launch and handle multiple instances of our browsers.
