A web service runs on a server infrastructure, (hopefully) no DE
involved. Only Linux has a DE, because Linux is a command-line
environment with a DE grafted onto it as an afterthought. Oddly enough,
Windows is a DE with a command line interface grafted onto it as an
afterthought. You should check out Powershell if you haven't already.
The browser runs on a personal device of some kind, but who cares what
OS? Chrome on Linux is almost indistinguishable from Chrome on Windows.
I use both every day and I often forget which I am on.

The desktop is dead. Web services and browsers became the OS of choice for most people about 5 years ago.
Larry:
Help me out here. Be it a webservice or a browser, don't they need to run on a DE and that DE in turn runs on an OS? Actually, the webservice also runs on the browser that has an OS underneath . . . unless you are running on a thin-client of sorts?
