"The acquisition of Joe Beda, who did a lot of work on the Avalon user interface for Longhorn, seems to open the door for the concept of a browser with a Gass-like 3D view of the web"

A google web browser ? That would be interesting. Microsoft has said that they would attack the web search market, Google lunched Gmail on beta and now might be thinking about a browser... Counter attack ?
