Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Full operating system that runs on the sites server and turns a IE window (or Netscape, etc.) into a remote OS on your desktop. Is this the future of operating systems? If so, I wouldn't mind it. Mostly it's a GUI like X ran over a server but still good enough to play with! Really quick, even on a 28k dialup connection. No special downloads or anything like that, just click and run the OS in a web browser window

That's pretty cool, but i dont think it qualifies as an Operating System
I agree. I don't know what the underlying system is though. It may be a real OS under the hood. I called it an OS since the creators did, just for reference
wow, yeah I don't know the official definition of an OS so I can't comment on its validity as a real OS but that is an incredibly neat idea. Like most new ideas I can't say that it is very practical now (even on dsl *I* sure wouldn't want to use it as my os) but the concept is really neat, in fact probably the coolest thing i have heard of so far this year!
think of it: in order to run a Flash interpreter, you *will* need an OS. Even if it's simple. However, it's an interresting way of implementing a VNC-like service...
I'd be interrested to see whether it runs faster than X or not ...
