This is great in some ways - it lets you write awesome local applications, and offers great performance.
Modern operating systems have very rich interfaces that give application developers and users a great deal of power. This transformation is by no means complete it is clear that many interfaces are not refined and much critical functionality is absent, but the trend is undeniable. Ever since the advent of AJAX and Web 2.0, a great number of things that people used to do using local apps are being done by web-based applications. People are switching to netbooks in droves. Coupled with net neutrality (which Google currently strongly supporting) this will allow Google to circumvent uncooperative devices and network providers, and access consumers currently hidden behind locked system. Once a lot of these apps are deployed and become heavily used, the mass market will force owners of closed systems like the iPhone to implement support for HTML-5, the latest version of HTML, and rich web interfaces.This lets Google reduce its customers’ dependence on local apps it does not control.
