AjaxWindows- A Web Based Operating System

Posted on March 7, 2008 at 7:00 am

Ever heard of a web-based OS? Over the years, I have had the chance to work in multiple operating systems. I have grown partial to some of them, but others have turned into a living nightmare. Now that technology is growing beyond our wildest imagination, we can test operating systems without having to make permanent changes to our existing ones.

This comes in handy if you are doubtful about the benefits of switching and would like to test it first. Virtual desktops are useful tools when you must test numerous software applications. Instead of having to leave endless traces of uninstalled software on your computer system, just install it on a virtual desktop. Not only will this let you test the application fully, but it can be fun as well.

AjaxWindows is a virtual operating system that will allow users to easily manage and install chosen applications on a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer system. It uses Java to operate and mimics a Windows desktop environment. Internet Explorer and Firefox are the only compatible browsers at the moment.

So far, the Opera web browser has too many kinks to make it work successfully. If you already know how to maneuver around a web browser, then you will be able to easily operate this as well. This smart little tool will give you the chance to store important files via Gmail, run numerous web applications, and function within its very own programs.

Although there are many online services that will provide you with free storage, having a portable operating system is a major improvement.

The look and feel of AjaxWindows is that of a traditional computer desktop. You can quickly and simply change the desktop background for a more personalized touch. When you first explore the components of AjaxWindows, you will notice the standard task bar, icons, widgets, and control panel.

The only difference between a regular operating system and this one is that it is completely done from an online web browser. This feature alone makes it great because you do not have to install it to make it work.

As long as you have an internet connection, Java Runtime Environment, and a computer, you will have access to this web based operating system. Instead of having to carry your own personal notebook computer everywhere, you will now be able to bring your desktop closer to you.

Accessing music files, documents, photos or other files will take you an instant with a highspeed internet connection. AjaxWindows is a wonderful program that is easy to operate and explore.

In order to get work done on the go, an entire office suite is included with AjaxWindows. Creating important documents, presentations, or graphics can be done with these included programs for free. This is a great way for constant travelers to access work documents remotely.

AjaxWindows also comes equipped with a music player, Gizmo phone, and an instant messenger. Now, you will be able to conveniently access one application for business or pleasure. One of the best benefits of using AjaxWindows is that it will not cause any permanent changes to your computer system because it is entirely web based. Not only is it convenient, but it is an easy to understand application as well.
