Nick, you might be interested in this quick thing I just wrote up:

A few years ago, I was talking about a new windowing system... and
believe it or not, I'm still slowly moving forward with it, but I think
existing X is good enough to start with for this idea.
My old thing was about thin clients used through the web.
Yea, totally! Actually, that windowing system of yours has been in the
back of my mind whenever I think of "web apps" for the past several
years since you first put it up.
Although I wouldn't put too much reliance on X, what with Wayland on the
way.

downloading programs too sometimes, can we solve that problem? Web apps
do an ok job, so do app stores. Let's get the best of both worlds:
download a program that targets a standard Linux VM distributed with
browsers. I go into a bit more detail in the link.
Yea, I'll have to take a closer look at that. My first impression is
that "Linux VM" sounds very heavy-weight, but I supposed it need not
necessarily be.
