TBH, I don't find this very interesting. WebKit support in Plasma is more interesting - and I don't really see any use for a webbrowser on my desktop... No, the way Trolltech actually integrated the web into applications, allowing you to use C++, HTML, CSS and Javascript in one application - THATS bringing the web to the desktop...
