With all the recent hype surrounding Google's Chrome, it's refreshing to see someone taking a few steps back and looking at the bigger picture. Superlatives were abound about Chrome (I personally really like it), but some people really took it overboard - take TechCrunch for instance: "Chrome is nothing less than a full on desktop operating system that will compete head on with Windows." Seeing my nationality, I know a tulip mania when I see one. So does Ted Dziuba.

I'm not surprised it has been closed. I don't see any compelling reason to use it. What about even one more layer and developping a so-called "operating system" that would run inside WebOS (or YouOS, if you want)?
An operating system is a computer program that is used as an interface between hardware and software applications so that an application can store information onto a HDD, communicate with a sound board, receive input from a keyboard, etc... YouOS is not developed in ASM or C AFAIK. We could call it a web-based personal manager maybe? Nothing more.
