What got them in trouble was not integrating a browser into Windows per se,
but the fact that they did that in order to extend their monopoly in OS's
(Windows) into the browser market.
Now if Plan 9 were running on 90% of the desktops in the world, perhaps we
should be cautious about integrating web access into it. Somehow, I don't
think this is a big concern right now! :-)

Hi.
Yes, your words are funny.
However, I think that Plan9 could serve as a ground of best OS for native
users.
It (Plan9) have everything which is requaired for it.
Just made an envirement (KDE like) + some hardware drivers,
and you got better OS for native users.
Plan9 enough flexible to be adapted for such tasks.
Just one problem: nobody like to do such envirement. And me to. :)
Bye.
