WebGL provides a high-performance pipe to underlying graphics hardware, and SVG and CSS allow for apps that fit all form factors and screen sizes. HTML5, with local storage, audio controls, and other low-level APIs make an ideal framework for browser (web) apps, and JavaScript performance has come along in leaps and bounds.

Gone are the days when you would run multiple applications gone are the days when your operating system would have to carefully manage memory and multitasking - today, the vast majority of users simply use a web browser. With the popularity of mobile computing, there has been an overarching shift towards simpler, application-oriented interfaces - and on the desktop, the last few years have seen a dramatic shift in how we interact with our computers. There is a strong chance that Windows 8, when it arrives in 2012, will be the last conventional, installed-application, file system-driven consumer operating system.
