Thin client computing in JS - very nice, but why do you need a browser at all? Why is this not part of the OS that you need to run the browser in the first place?

You can get streaming games and video today with RemoteFX on Windows Server, even streaming to ARM Windows RT devices over Remote Desktop. GaiKai has an implementation ready to go for PS4. Other than the clever engineering required to get a decent video codec going in JS, I fail to see the benefit here other than not needing to install anything.
