eyeOS

The eyeOS is a web based operating system (OS). It is a really cool concept, being able to access your OS from any computer with a web browser and an internet connection.
The OS has a few built in applications. Under the first Office tab at the top is a small word processor (pictured above), a file manager, a calendar, and a contact manager. Under the Network tab, there is an rss reader, and a web browser! Under the Accessories tab there is a calculator, and a note pad. Under the Games tab there is chess. Under the System tab there is a simple process viewer. And finally, under the Places tab there are links to the Home folder, Desktop, Public folder, and Groups.
There is the date and time in the bottom right, and in the bottom left is what would be called a taskbar.
The green button in the bottom center lets you log out, launch an app, see your applications in a folder (similar to OS X), and open the system preferences where you can change your password and set a custom wallpaper.
I really think this is a cool concept and has some great potential, especially for a student that is computer hopping between public libraries, school, and the dorm/home. I would really like to see some more applications, like a simple photo editor, and a wider variety of games.
