What is the future of the OS?

What do you think the future OS will be like? Will it be abolished?

Here are some (admittedly clueless) suggestions:

  * The WebOS was first invented 7-8 years ago or so and now there are several.

No big success so far but who knows what will come?

  * The browser will be the OS. More and more applications are moving to the web and are almost as good as their desktop equivalence.

But the browser in its current form doesn't seem enough.

  * We will always need a basic OS? It might do less than now and the browser will be what we use mostly?

  * OSers are unnecessary and will be killed. Instead we have webapps that can run directly on the hardware?
