For a long time, I’ve believed that the future of operating systems lies in a browser - hence Web Browser OS.
If you think about it, the only thing you SHOULD need to get up and running is a basic OS that runs your computer and opens up a web browser (which Linux does nicely).
WindowsForAll does exactly that. It allows you to use the Silverlight technology and open up a full, Windows operating system in your web browser.
This os browser operating system deploys quickly and you can run all the native components on it. The downside is you can’t store data and files on the instance because it technically ‘lives in the cloud.’
As clustering technology and server disk drives increase in size though, we’ll be able to enjoy the full potential of browser based operating systems!
