    How is access to platform API's blocked?

    This is great news! I can't wait to see some apps that leverage NaCl.

    Congrats Google, this is a monumental achievement.

    Will UDP connections ever be supported? TCP is kind of a pain for real time games. Also, can you give a very rough estimate of when opengl might be available? 1 month? 6 months? A year?

    Cheers!

    @Tim: You are unlikely to ever see raw UDP due to well known security issues. We agree that more networking support would be very useful and have a number of enhancements in progress. See for example http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/detail?id=907 and http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/detail?id=1310

    @jongary: This question is central to the entire project. Native Client uses an OS-independent sandbox, based on machine code analysis, to prevent direct access to the native OS by the NaCl module. We've published several research papers on this subject; Please see http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/reference/research-papers for all the details.

    Kinda sad not to see openGL in the initial push...

    I also thought the whole point of installing web apps was that users could opt into security risks like UDP.

    I know its hard to accept but sometimes you must embrace "bad security".

    At the moment flash has a hideous strangle hold on peer to peer UDP traffic in the browser. Please don't let flash continue to effortlessly win the internets.

    I seriously doubt that UDP traffic alone is enough to have flash maintain its lead. NaCl brings the advantage of supporting legacy C[++] libs which is a far larger advantage.

    On another note, I'm looking forward to seeing OpenGL in the near future as well. Nexuiz would be a great demo, and hopefully we see a Unity3D NaCl client, or at least some games. For the time being, we have Quake:

    We also have DOSBox, er, NaClBox:

    Google finally delivered on the original Netscape goal of abstracting the Operating System from the web application.
    Will this change the world?
