Sometimes I wonder why I read the user comments on Slashdot. Then along comes a gem like this:

serviscope_minor:

...I still fail to see how Web 2.0 will make an operating system irrelevant. The browser has to run on something. The server has to run on something too. And with the talk about "local web 2.0 apps", they might even be the same machine. Then you'll really need a good OS to schedule and mediate the needless and vast layers of extra complexity.

jez9999:

No, it's web browsers all the way down.

For those who are scratching their heads, turtles are being alluded to.
