Any channel can be anchored to the desktop, making it a webtop. A webtop does not integrate with the Windows desktop like Internet Explorer 4.0 does because it is meant to be a cross-platform network interface, not a proprietary, Windows-only interface. A webtop is extremely customizable because it’s based on HTML and because any channel can become a webtop. With webtops, content providers and OEMs can for the first time take over desktop real estate that traditionally has been owned by operating system vendors. Webtops give OEMs and content providers more customization and flexibilty on any desktop, including Windows.
