This, from reading the specs, looks like a mix of windows 3.1 and Linux Konquer web browser that acts as an OS. I'm not sure why you'd want to install something that would require you to have an OS to open the web browser to start that OS. seems a bit redundant In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

Joe Call me a Luddite, but I really don't want my work hanging out on a server that I don't control -- or that can be "hacked" by someone outside my network. That said, if I'm keeping everything safely in-house, why a server-based OS? Maybe it's just me... Cool idea, but I don't want to play. ID: 827893 ·

If it ain't cheap, then the masses will not be behind this, which will negate any chance of this thing taking off in a serious manner. ID: 828315 ·
