An Operating System…on the Internet?

Ever imagine that you would see an operating system available on the internet in your lifetime? Would you have thought it was free – and is accessible by practically anyone (including you!)?

When I first heard about YouOS (alright it was probably around half a year ago), I was just as shocked as you are right now. Yeah, not too shocked, actually. I mean, how useful can an online operating system be? It’s slow, it’s lacking in aesthetics, and it’ll always need another operating system equipped with internet in order for it to run, right?

Right. But it’s definitely a lot more portable than any other OS. Confused?

Scenario: you are in the library and suddenly are struck with the most amazing idea for a topic to write about on your blog. Darn, you don’t have your thumb drive with you – and your laptop’s sitting on your desk at home. What will you do now (besides send an e-mail to yourself)? Well, why not boot up YouOS (takes around five seconds – surprise!) and use it’s primitive word processing software – which can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection?

Okay, so there were a lot of solutions to that problem.  Fine, be that as it may, YouOS still has much potential to achieve.  And it looks very, very promising.
