When did I say Firefox was an OS? I think you misread my post. When you asked what app I would run on the OS I said Firefox.

You are really telling me stuff I already know. I have been a developer for over 20 years.

And there you hit the nail on the Head... "Apple Vetoed". If this had a "real" OS that wasn't locked down and you could load and run your own apps without going through the "app store" I would consider it a real or full blown OS.
