boot to gecko

Boot to Gecko (B2G) is an open web operating system project initiated by Mozilla. The project aims to use open web technologies as a foundation for application development on mobile and desktop platforms, potentially displacing proprietary, single-vendor stacks. Mozilla's wiki describes B2G as an effort to push the capabilities of the web to compete with existing operating systems. On WindowsForum.com, discussions about Boot to Gecko focus on Mozilla's strategy to enter the OS market with a web-centric approach, highlighting the project's goal to leverage HTML5 and other web standards for native-like app experiences.
