WOW. These online OS's are the coolest things! I had never even heard of them until now, but they are freaking awesome. I love the idea of going to a library, logging into your very own desktop and working or even playing around on it. All without installing ANYTHING. It's just too cool. I personally prefer eyeOS right now. Just because it's cleaner, has a great documentation, and you can host it on your own anywhere you want. It's just like.... wow. Can't wait to earn back my hosting here so I can set it up.

Same here. As soon as I read this forum I was instantly intrested in YouOS. I tried the demo and after 15 minutes and everything tested, I was registered to it. You'll never see me register to anything that fast ever again! It's just that good.

Never heard of this, what is an online operating system? Do you mean downloaded off the internet, or some different branch of Operating system altogether?
I'll check out the wikipedia link in the meantime.
-Let me know what you can about it.

Voidless Shadows, no. An Online Operating System is part of a website, and it acts like a real computer would, but it is online so you don't need to download anything.

Online Operating Systems are not actual OSes (well not yet, anyway), but they are very good nonetheless.

YouOS is an experimental web desktop produced by WebShaka that replicates the desktop environment of a modern operating system on a webpage, using Javascript to communicate with the remote server. This allows users to save an environment to return to later, and for multiple users to collaborate using a single environment. The software is currently in alpha stage.

An easy-to-use application-development API is provided for YouOS, as is an IDE for development. This has allowed for the creation of over 550 applications for YouOS.
