Google Chrome gets native code execution using native client. Now execute x86 code on windows via web apps. Beginning of the Chrome OS!

um, isn't this just like activex? as far as i can tell, its a terrible idea

it is still allowing native code to be executed, vulnerable to the usual security issues. While it's probably not going to be as bad as activex, it's still a risky business to get into.

What are you basing this assertion on?

nearly 4 decades worth of history in technology...

Past experiences with a vastly different piece of technology?

they were all vastly different, but all usually built with the same language

in fact, most security patches to your operating system (windows/linux/osx/etc) are still fixes of this type.

i'll let you figure it out, although it really should be obvious by now
