How can the operating system go away?

Are these Operating System haters going to write an OS for every application, including their precious web browsers? Do these so-called "futurists" want to regress back to 1950's computing?

The point of the operating system is that it provides services for all applications, which prevents every application developer from reinventing the wheel for each application.

The only thing these new browser techniques are doing is catching up to the same techniques that client/server (i.e. non-web browser based) applications have been doing for the past 20+ years. Stop writing lousy applications that cannot recover from unexpected errors or ones crash the entire system.
