Cloud Computing is great because it allows you to get you applications and data anywhere in the world and share data with others and collaborate with them. But, would it be great if you could have an operating system that will provide you direct access to cloud applications and simulate you operating system but all in the cloud?

Web operating systems fulfill that need and lets you do just that. There are very many Web OSes to list a few there are: eyeos, cmyos and my personal favorite G.ho.st. These sites are a very accurate of a desktop operating system like Microsoft Windows or Mac OSX and does most of what they do but, all in the cloud. These web operating systems allow their users to check their web-based email, use their web-based documents service,  store files, play simple games and surf the web. That’s right the web operating system has an actual browser iside your own web browser which is kind of cool. As far as web applications, it depends on they system, G.ho.st, allows the user to use both Google Docs and Zoho which is one of the reasons that I like it.

In my opinion, these web operating systems are integral to cloud computing becoming a standard. Even if it is not your primary operating environment, it will be at the very least a very nice launcher, making using cloud computing much easier. I also believe that they will begin to make web operating systems that can be installed and can be used online and offline similar to Google Gears and syncronizes between the local and cloud files making cloud computing very newbie friendly. I recommend giving a web OS a try because it make utilizing the cloud much easier.
