if you saw my thread way back about eyeOS, this is way better. YouOS is just like that exept way better, and it's hosted for you. it's in alpha, but it's great. If you have mozilla it works best in that
it has great AJAX and DHTML, and works really good, but sometimes it freezes up when loading certain programs. Other then that it's really great
you can develop for them, it's all web based in AJAX. it's easy too.
Some apps are an MP3 Player, file uploader, wallpaper changer, a shell style command line, chat, instant messages, and rich text editors. You can look for my app "psych designs explorer" and the comming soon "unnoficial YouOS Message Board"
Ir's awsome, and they do need more testers, and its easy registration, too!
If you want, add me (psychiccyberfreak) to the buddy list. I need some friends on there.
Comparing to eyeOS, I think eyeOS look and feel is alot better. It rather resembles nearer to the Mac operating system. On the other hand, YouOS resembles more to the basic Linux interface, pretty featureless still. In terms of workability, YouOS seems to respond better to mouse clicks especially moving a window's position and bringing forward a window that is behind others.
I'm having trouble to add/install new applications in YouOS. It simple got stuck there. Nice findout anyway.
yeah when I had more then one app running in eyeOS, I lost alot of my data that I had unsaved. YouOS works better when it comes to that. YouOS is fine as long as you set your own walpaper. I still have a prob when one app is loading, but it freazes up and you can't log off so you have to go into mozilla (which I don't have at school) and fix the problem and its really annoying.
I haven't heard of anything called Youos before but having said that, I haven't heard of eyeos either. They sound pretty cool, but to be honest, I haven't tried any of them.
I may decide to try some of them in the future, as they sound fun, shame about the crashes though!
I have used eyeOS many times before but I never heard of YouOS. Must be because is still in alpha development. eyeOS looks prettier but YouOS is far more powerful than eyeOS. I like it very much and I haven't got any problems with it yet...
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 150 applications for YouOS.

i think the most significant difference is that its possible to use together one os so you can share with your friend applications and preferences but i dont know how secure something like this is and if big files can be stored online

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.
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.
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.
