a dream, a possible reality. "Freedom"


Web OS

Recently there have been a bit of a hype on so called "Web OSes". Its kinda joke, when people ask me about them. I mean how can they even consider a web application an OS? Maybe you might call it a virtual desktop. That might be a better term. I don't need to explain more, the definition of an OS is below(from wikipedia).
An operating system (OS) is a set of computer programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer. An operating system processes raw system and user input and responds by allocating and managing tasks and internal system resources as a service to users and programs of the system. At the foundation of all system software, an operating system performs basic tasks such as controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing system requests, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking and managing file systems.
Do I still need to say more?
