EyeOS "web operating system" hits 1.0

EyeOS
It seems unlikely that web based "operating systems" are going to replace the concept of the desktop OS anytime soon. But there is some appeal to the idea of having a central desktop with access to your documents, files, word processor, and RSS feeds no matter what computer you're using.

EyeOS is hardly the only name in the web operating system game, but the recently launched EyeOS 1.0 makes a pretty compelling case that a web OS could actually work. Web-based applications, (including a word processor, chess game, calendar, calculator, and process manager) load quickly and are easy to use. The desktop has a clean and modern feel to it. The list of applications is pretty light, with no spreadsheet or presentation software.

But EyeOS is open source, and anyone can develop applications that will run on the platform. So if you're not happy with the current software available, you've only got yourself to blame.
