In a web driven world, I think we could do with this.

Last night I had to get my laptop up and running for my wife to use it 
in bed, getting past 5 different passwords through  
boot/encryption/login before getting to a browser on my highly 
customized and secure linux laptop leaves me gagging for an OS that has 
nothing on it but a browser, switches on it seconds and doesn't require 
much if any patching or security thoughts.

"It just works" should be changed to "It just browses"

May not be revolutionary in your opinion but I think this is a game 
changer for people that don't need local junk and local problems. The 
Web2.0 generation, where local state was so last decade. I think my wife 
would absolutely love this.

If they release this open source, I'll be installing it asap for her on 
a new eeepc or something.
