Yeah, but (presumably) much more latency tolerant.

I didn’t mean to imply they were the first do build a development environment using a thin client.

I meant they are way ahead on in-browser / on tablet IDE’s, which is surprising, since Google had a 10 year lead on the office suite side of things.
