EyeOs

EyeOs 1.0 has been released. For those who don't know EyeOs is a web-based operating system. I tried it quite often in the last months and I've to say that it's not bad. Not at all.

The look and feel is nice, clean and simple. It doesn't have many applications right now, but it seems more a prototype than a finished product. Unfortunately the built-in web browser doesn't support any webapp right now. It doesn't matter too much: in order to use EyeOs, you must have a browser (say Firefox), and you can use the same browser to use the webapps you like. I know it's not too nice to have a whole operating system that can manage windows and using something external to manage your browser.

For the future, I'd like to see some support to AJAX built into the EyeOs browser.
