Maybe something annoyed Jeremy Zawodny because he's had a nice rant, saying There is no Web Operating System (or WebOS). He says:
A Web Operating System is a myth propagated by people who either don't understand the Web, don't understand operating systems, or both. A good example is this TechCrunch story where mimicking a desktop interface is confused with an operating system.
Well, it's probably not harmful to think of individual Web sites and services as platforms, or think of the whole Web as a platform, and I suspect the "Web OS" idea comes from that sort of "thinking by analogy." It only becomes a problem if people take it literally.
