i dont get this 3d in browser thing. apart from games what is the killer application? putting every possible tech into browser is just plain BS.

they make browser heavy and heavy in each major release thats why I returned to FF3 and i am not alone.

p.s: in future we would have browser containing drivers and bios. the ultimate BrowSer.

Putting every single thing in the browser is exactly what Google wants to do with its future (if ever released) Google Chrome OS.

From a business point of view, this way of doing things is probably seen as a good way to prevent software piracy: keep lots of things on the server side...

It's a good way to prevent you from using the personal computer to its fullest potential.

It's simply the only way to break MS-API monopoly.

Would MS not be so entrenched and unbeatable in the desktop apps market, other approaches would work.

WTF are you talking about? Go have a coffee and explain yourself. There is no MS API monopoly, almost all of the games I've seen use OpenGL and maybe some magic with the help of the video card instructions (shader languages, GPUs blah blah blah).
