In some ways it's interesting to think that a modern website is larger than most operating systems used to be.

I can understand why (frameworks, rich assets, etc) but it puts us in an interesting place.

I wonder what the web will look like in 2030?

Indeed, I remember running QNX from a floppy disk (1.44MB) complete with windowing system and utilities.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember MS DOS used to fit on a 720k floppy -- back when they were literally floppy...

Reinventing QNX will be state of the art for decades to come.
