i don't want to sound like a grammar nazi, especially since i don't really care and often write txt spk myself...
but just reading through that site does not give me confidence to use it.
meh

Interesting, it's pretty fun to play with, but I probably won't use it as I have no need to.

It is interesting, but of course you need to have an OS to go to that site to use it. Unless you can actually install it?

The point of cloud computing is to allow you to have speed and performance, even if the computer you are currently using does not. So if you go on a crappy computer and use this OS, you won't have to worry about it being slow.

 

[massahwahl]

Is there going to be a way to boot to it? I dont get the point of having a browser based OS.

It looks like a Windows version of Chromium OS, but it is made to boot off of any other Windows computer.

Applications are written in silverlight and executed on your own computer.

Unless of course your computer is so slow that Silverlight barely runs

Speed and performance at broadband speeds? I think you need to brush up on your definition of cloud computing.

Silveos OS is a browser-based OS similar to Chrome therefore you cannot boot your computer from it.

Also, as it is internet based the big bottle neck in the whole thing is your broadband speed...

Rather than CPU and RAm worries you just need to worry about you net speed

Doesn't take much to send a command over broadband.

I don't think he meant making your computer faster and performing better than before, I think he meant preserving the speed and performance of your computer, offloading all the work to a different system.
