Great post!

Definitely agree that, if we look outside the box a little bit we might find Web OS great usage around with just as great benefits.

Not to mention that follows the whole Cloud Computing advantages.

RE: user experience -

If you would use more than 1 computer such as students, travelers or people who cannot afford buying a computer and have to go to cafes for surfing, you would want the same desktop or virtual computer that will keep your pictures, videos, documents, bookmarks etc.

Same goes for those who don’t want administering (backing up, updating, reinstalling, upgrading, repairing) their home computer.

BTW, http://G.ho.st (cool but not very polished GUI, many services) and http://www.Jooce.com (slick GUI with only a few services :-( ) seem to me better solutions provide a better than the three the author mentions.

"The business model is to offer XIOS/3 and applications for it for free."

Is that a business model?

There are about 25 web desktops under development, and yet no-one knows what to do with them. No strong use cases, no business models, no user experience that hasn't been around for 20 years.
