How real is the embedded web-page technique?

Jim,

Personally, as long as it did what I wanted it to do, however complex, then
I wouldn't really mind if it involved a number of integrated seemless apps.

So that fact that the functional units are contained within a single
window/frame/pane gives the comforting perception/illusion of an integration
application ?

Must admit, it would be nice ;-)
