    Cloudo is a free computer that lives on the Internet, right in your web browser. This means that you can access your documents, photos, music and all other files no matter where you are, from any computer or mobile phone.

    This looks really great; I can't wait until it becomes public.

    Whether or not this is really practical or even useful is of no consequence. lol This is one fascinating innovation / novelty.

    Screw all my computing power, I want a bloody browser-based desktop. Absolutely useless...

    When I first heard about the idea of web based operating systems, the idea sounded cool for like five minutes. It was about then that I realized that all these super "innovative" OSes were written as Javascript applications that run in your browser... (admitted, not all of them are bunch of Javascripts. Does anyone remember Netcubicle for instance?) Can you really imagine doing any serious work with this? I can't. Apart from the obvious privacy issues - bear in mind you have no encrypted connection and you give up control over your files - there are also severe performance penalties For those who don't know Netcubicle. It simply was a service that provided access to a Linux desktop using a VNC/VPN connection. Using VNC/VPN has the same benefit as using a browser namely access to your programs and files from anywhere on the Internet. But additionally you have a secure connection and a (real) machine on the other side that does the number crunching. Personally, I think remote desktop already borders to overkill, because all you really need is your data. Who cares about having all their applications available from anywhere? It's the files you've been working on that are truly valuable. In that respect services like DropBox are much more interesting. Of course the problem of storing potentially sensitive files on some hard disk outside of your reach remains. So what to do? The cheapest solution I can think of would be to register a DynDNS domain and setup up either sFTP, SSH, or remote desktop at home, on your own machines. I don't wanna bash on Cloudo. I just think that OSes shouldn't be run over the already crowded HTTP. Especially in lieu of the available alternatives. Just my 2¢

    One of the best WebOS I have seen, applied for the beta, can't wait for it

    A neat virtual computer online. I wonder about who owns the files you upload, and how well they are kept secure. I will probably try this out, but I wouldn't put anything sensitive on it.
