This has echoes of MS SQL Server (and maybe others) where there's an argument to built a miniature operating system within RDBMS for technical reasons.

Given that whole UI and windowing toolkits are moving into the browser, that argument of replacing chunks of the OS, from top to bottom, starts to become more relevant (if not more comfortable).

And then the next step could be to have Google as a compulsory proxy for all web traffic, because of government blocks.
