And what will the web bring to the table? Slow centralized cloud webapps which will simulate work while offline? That's like one then? We're talking about Google and Microsoft Office is not exactly web only. I was talking about web "OSes" but it probably wasn't very clear. What I really meant was how much of these Web 2.0 ventures die in a single year? Google is big and that shields it from mistakes but it doesn't mean that Google doesn't make mistakes. The reaction is simple - its nothing world shattering that will change the course of the history. It will have its uses and that's all.
