Comment 257 for bug 668415

@realn: Well, every major OS out there (Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu) are
moving to such a situation. See the new launchpad (or whatever it's
called) on Mac OS X that is much like the springboard on iOS and the new
Windows Phone OS (or whatever it's called) and Windows 8 with their
similar setup. It's an inevitable change in a transition from the
traditional desktop situation to one where evetually the browser becomes
the center piece and is all you need.
