You have it backwards. With things like CefSharp, you load the browser into your desktop app.
Or run an OS in your browser![^]

Alan Kay has talked, in this interview among others[^] of the definciencies of the Web Stack, and in many respects he's right on the money.
It would be so nice if the web functioned more like he envisages, the tension is between everything being "Open for Extension" and security. This is an area that warrants considerably more investment and research than I see at the moment. Currently, IMHO it seems that the big players are more interested in getting user into their own walled garden (Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple) than actually providing us with enabling technologies that may actually make things better.
Shame on the lot of them.

Along with eating right and exercising, people should consider adding another healthy habit to their list: turning out the lights. That's according to a new study reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on July 14 showing many negative health consequences for mice kept under conditions of constant light for a period of months. That's why everyone keeps me in the dark

Uh, ok, what a stupid conclusion to make based on a study that subjects a mouse to constant light for a significant portion of its life, and then conclude this applies to humans.
And what about those people living in the northern latitudes where it's constantly light for significant periods of the year? Do they suffer negative health consequences?
Scientists.

Well... the study could apply to prisoners kept for years in a cell with the light on.
However, I doubt that the countries practicing this care about the health consequences.

Security experts have discovered that the Maxthon web browser collects sensitive information and sends it to a server in China. Researchers warn that the harvested data could be highly valuable for malicious actors. I'm _sure_ there's a perfectly logical explanation :eyeroll:

We’re excited to introduce Monty Python to the Mojis family on Skype. Mojis are short, shareable, clips you can use in your Skype chats and today, we’re adding 37 of your favorite Python moments from Life of Brian, Holy Grail and Flying Circus. "Of COURSE it's a good idea!"
Oh, I think I might get kicked off all my Skype meetings now...

Maybe in realizing they’ve probably maxed out getting as many people as possible to download the upgrade, Microsoft is taking an in-person approach to promoting the free offer. *Some conditions apply

I wonder what their compatibility checker would say if I tried it on my 10yo vista laptop.
OTOH at 3 hours/165 miles each way even if I won a free bottom tier laptop I'd lose.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I don't want Win10 (at this time).
I don't want a Dell laptop (or anything Dell).
The only way to win is not to play.
I have an MSDN subscription via my employer so I can get nearly anything for free anyway.

What they forgot to mention - is that there is no guarantee, that all your all old software will work as before - or presented at all, for that matter...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Wonder if they could upgrade mine? Shipped with Win8.1, only a year old, hardware is eminently compatible with Win10.
I doubt the upgrade software would run on the Linux OS, though.

My experience to date is that a roughly six year old laptop with Windows 7 gets a green light on their initial test. They attempted the upgrade and the hard drive locks up (too many critical drive errors apparently) while the upgrade thrashes. The store refused to provide the Dell Inspiron 15 the next day due to this pre-existing condition. So I am investing $45 in a new hard drive and they promise to port the files and upgrade to Windows 10 today.
I didn't see anything about excluding failures due to pre-existing conditions in the offer, so I will probably take this up with the Microsoft PR people unless all is resolved to my satisfaction today.
