“People in the industry foresee a time in which for many people, the only thing they’ll need on a computer is a browser,” said Mitch Kapor, the software pioneer who now sits on the board of the Mozilla Foundation and has created a start-up, FoxMarks, that is developing a tool to synchronize bookmarks between computers. “The browser is just extraordinarily strategic.”

对于终端用户而言，未来PC只需要一个程序——浏览器。

所 以，微软通过Windows对用户桌面的统治地位并不稳固，Firefox目前市场占有率为18% 且逐渐增加，而Apple也考虑对Windows用户开放Safari浏览器（5%）。Google不一定要做浏览器，反正不管你用什么浏览器，最终的目 的都是google搜索及其他服务。
