An Interesting Question On OS We Still Have Not An Answer For

Searching for Google Chrome for Linux recently installed on my laptop I came across this blog posting A Web OS?.

The author maybe is a little bit aggressive, and therefore the text is stuffed with f-words too much but it gives the general view of how the OS environment are evolving - from simple to sophisticated and ineffective - disregarding of real user's needs.

The point I like most there is the following question:

"... when your Aunt asks why her 1.2GHz computer isn't fast enough to run an online word processor that has the same fucking features as the 1987 version of Corel WordPerfect, you don't have an answer for her."

I have not any answer. And you?
