How will Google Native Client change the way we use Browsers?

Now, it looks really interesting that they ported Quake to run on a Browser and you can run C++ code on a browser to process things more quickly, but I am trying to understand, what is the practical usage of NaCl?

What is the vision behind this by Google? To run software as a service on their "cloud" OS..err browser?

For example: Run Photosphop CS 5 on your browser?!

"the Flash plug-in is ActiveX" - really? I always assumed that IE also used Netscape type plugins.

Yep, it's ActiveX. Wikipedia even says: "ActiveX controls are used for content handlers that render content embedded within an HTML page (e.g., Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight)."I've had to do development with the ActiveX plug-in in the past, which first required me to first install the Internet Explorer plug-in.
