I deeply agree with this. The browser aspect would be even more
important than the POSIX aspect (in respect to end user). POSIX
services for core computation and browser like services for the UI.

This could indeed ends up in a lighweight OS, while offering all the
major needs.

A question is till pending : which audiance are you targeting ?
Typical nowadays users or computation users ? If you wish to target
the second kind of users, then POSIX + browser services is clearly
enough... but if you whish to target most of nowadays users, you will
face a lot of work with the heavy and silly requirements of
multim=E9dia.

Have a nice time
