I have not idea what you are talking about. I have been using BeOS from 1999 and BeOS itself never had operated that way.
If you are about the Be_Appliance then that was just a few lines in the boot script that invoked the system browser NetPositive. But BeOS never ran inside a browser to my knowledge.

There was a shell that Be Inc. developed for BeOS that basically had the browser and everything integrated into the shell. It was for the BeAppliances. If you ever had the Beta Dan0 installed on your system they had the program in the System folder if I remember correctly.
I miss my old BeBox with das blinken lights.

This really reminded me of the BeOS that tried such similar concept called "Boot to browser". Let's hope this one fare better than BeOS
For truly Cloud computing experience perhaps they can include a RDP or Citrix client so that user can really run rich fat client Windows apps regardless of the client OS
