The Internet-only bank, Egg, which is based in the UK, is making plans for 
browserless Internet banking. What will replace the browser? A new &quot;smart 
client&quot;. All signs point to this being a piece of Microsoft's next generation 
OS, Longhorn. Remember that Microsoft has already announced it will be 
phasing out the stand-alone browser. When Egg converts to the new system, the 
customer's choice will be...Microsoft or nothing. Apparently, they will 
maintain a lower-level interface for browser users, but they are placing 
their main bets on the Longhorn setup. This is a scary trend, and one that 
consumers ought to fight tooth and nail.
