JavaScript...all the necessary bits to be an operating system. This slide delivered by Scott Hanselman, a Microsoft Employee at the Fluent 2014 conference. It was precisely this - that the browser could be an operating system, that so freaked Microsoft out in the late 90s which led them to try to bake Internet-Explorer directly into Windows, which in turn prompted all the anti-trust lawsuits against them, which in turn caused them to be become so dramatically hobbled (I hear there is deep systemic fear about doing anything that would get you sued in the hallways of MS). And here we are - 20 years later, and weve finally got our operating system in the browser. Oh yeah!
