Web OS - Your life on the Internet

Operating Systems are the interface which connect us to the computer's hardware. It gives us an easy to use graphical interface to get our work done and it also beautifully hides all the 1's and 0's. Now, with the Internet providing more opportunities for people to collaborate globally, web operating systems are proving to be the next big thing. G.ho.st, Glide, Xcerion are a few examples of how we can shift our whole computer world on to the web. I have tried G.ho.st and Glide, and they sure are fast, reliable and fun to use. Their interfaces depict your desktop or laptop and thus make it easier for you to use. Although, the storage disk space is only a mere 2GB, which might seem like peanuts to high-end users. But what matters is the experience of using it and I would give it a TWO THUMBS UP. Especially G.ho.st, where the interface is so smooth and unglitchy. I only wish they increased their storage space and I would start using it full-time. :)

The whole idea here is to provide a base for global collaboration. The Internet sure has made things easier for mankind but with more innovations comes more complexity and what we have to wait to see is how Web 2.0 applications stand the test of time. I am keeping my fingers crossed since I am a big fan of web apps as it just makes it easier for us to go about doing our tasks. I would love to hear how you guys feel about the operating systems on the web. If you find anything new out there, please do not hesitate to mention it to me.
