s it time to revisit browser only PCs? Would web 2.0 cause a fundamental change in hardware architecture(both PC and mobile) by facilitating a move towards the network computer architecture?
In the PC/Internet world, the browser is fast becoming the universal client. However, there is a crucial difference between the PC world and the browser world.
In the PC world, we need one type of program to run a specific type of application (word to view word documents, excel to view spreadsheets and so on). In contrast, we can use the browser to view any type of application(i.e. one client for many applications).
or as Gandalf would say – One ring to rule them all!

Already, my email, calendar and other applications are on the web. Using Web 2.0 applications like the writely , I can store all my documents on the web.All I need is a browser. One client to rule them all!
Thus, today I would use a brower only PC would you?
