"Who is "they"? Netscape never said or did any of these things: it was a bunch of media pundits and nitwits who didn't know squat about computers who speculated about browsers taking over the operating system. "

Andreesen himself (I remember from a TV interview) said that the OS should be properly viewed as "a kernel and some device drivers" - and the browser should take on a more central, if not the central role in the interface.

I happen to agree with that. Unfortunately for Netscape, so did Microsoft.
