If you are interested in HTML5 deep integration into the OS, look no further than Tizen. It does HTML5 on EFL, has al kinds of integration with features like your webcam, and even DRM, and what have you...
It makes use of dbus as well (Like Rasterman said on his blog), but there are still issues with this distro.

/edit:
Well we already have that with the kernel, the init process and Xorg, so it would be the 4th single point of failure ;-)Last edited by droste; 29 December 2012, 11:15 AM.

But, I also feel your point. Since browsers implementing pages as seperate processes is somewhat the same as an operating starting different processes. So why not use what the operating system has, and not go with the browser which is already very complex.

I just envision that the notion of different toolkits becomes only an issue for development. If everything is ran over HTML5 and friends, who cares what you use???

Yo dawg, I heard you love OS, so we've put an OS in your OS.
or
1. Build OS
2. Build browser application
3. Make browser application a second OS
4. ???
5. Profit!
That's all I have to say ;-)

Originally posted by newwen View PostSpeaking of Wayland remoting, I have come across some Microsoft patents filed between 2008 and 2011, related to the Remote Desktop Protocol describing the intented remoting solution for wayland.

The patent damages against Marvell were TRIPLED because they READ THE PATENTS CAREFULLY.
The moral of the story is to NOT READ THE DAMNED PATENTS.
IGNORE THE PATENTS.
And of course you PRESUME that these patents have some sort of VALIDITY to them!
But you can just IGNORE all that with your FUD!
READ THOSE PATENTS! GET SUED! LOSE YOUR MONEY! What a troll you are.Last edited by frantaylor; 28 December 2012, 11:05 AM.
