The ultimate aim of cloud-computing proponents is to rid yourself of the need to ever need desktop software or operating systems.最终目的是云计算倡议者是为了摆脱自己的需要以往任何时候都需要桌面软件或操作系统。 Data is to be accessible and secure anywhere you have Internet access and services light and installation free.数据是要方便和安全的任何地方你有因特网接入和服务的轻和安装免费的。

They’ve also been saying this for nearly two decades now.他们也一直在说,这为近20年的现在。

See the idea of moving all your work online just doesn’t really appeal to most people, especially the mainstream end-user.见的想法提出您的所有工作线上只是并没有真正呼吁大多数人,尤其是主流的最终用户。 In fact it really didn’t appeal to me even only 2 years ago, however over that time I’ve found my self slowly making all my data accessible via the net, without even knowing that’s what I doing.事实上,它真的没有上诉,我什至只是二年前,不过,超过当时,我发现我的自我慢慢使我所有的数据可通过网络,甚至没有知道的,我这样做。

All my email is now accessible online, my bookmarks are on del.icio.us, my documents in Google Docs and Office Live, my photos on Flickr and online storage services (Live Mesh, SkyDrive), I use FeedDemon to read RSS feeds on my desktop which are synchronised with NewsGator Online, I have a dozen social media profiles and I spend more time in my browser then any other piece of software.所有我的电子邮件是现在可在线,我的书签是对del.icio.us ,我的文档在Google文件和Office Live ,我的照片就flickr和在线存储服务(活网格, skydrive ) ,我使用feeddemon阅读RSS源就我的桌面是花样与者NewsGator在线,我有一个十社会媒体概况,我花更多时间在我的浏览器,然后其他任何棋子的软件。

And that’sa pretty normal scenario too.和that'sa相当正常的情况。

In fact the only thing that I haven’t moved online in some form has been my actual desktop itself, and that is now possible.事实上,只有一件事,我没有在网上提出某种形式我一直实际桌面本身,就是现在有可能。

After having a really good look around and discovering as many online desktops as possible I gave each one a fairly good trial (except for a few which in my opinion weren’t really even worth that).后有一个真正好的环顾四周,发现很多网上的台式机,尽量我给每一个相当不错的审判(除了少数在我看来,不是真的,甚至价值) 。

From this is came to several conclusions.由这是来到了若干结论。 Firstly, I found out that for all the cloud computing fuss at the moment Webtops themselves are not a particularly popular service.首先,我发现原来所有的云计算做文章,目前webtops本身并不是一个特别受欢迎的服务。 It’sa bit of a “I like the idea, but it just doesn’t work for me at the moment” situation, and not unjustifiably in most cases.这是位一个: “我喜欢这种想法,但它只是不工作,我在此时”的局面,而不是无端在大多数情况下。

Secondly I discovered that many of these services are almost identical in what they offer, some a little prettier, some a little faster, but for the most part just the same tools and options in a different package.其次,我发现很多这些服务是在几乎相同的是什么,它们提供的一些小漂亮,一些快一点,但大部份只是相同的工具和选择在不同的方案。

And thirdly, a lot of online OS’s are still very young and using them exclusively would result in a dramatic drop in functionality and services.第三,大量的网上作业系统的仍然是非常年轻和使用他们专门将导致出现一个急剧下降,在功能和服务。 The issue seems to be that many are choosing develop their own products and services, rather then integrating with already much better services online such as Google Docs.这个问题似乎是说很多人选择发展自己的产品和服务,而不是然后结合已经好得多在线服务,如Google文件。

However I do think these services have a lot of potential, particularly a couple of them, and give it a few years might actually become more then just a curiosity.但我确实认为,这些服务有很多的潜力,尤其是一对夫妇,他们,并给它指定一个几年实际上可能会变得更加然后只是好奇。 It certainly appeals more the Facebook ever becoming “the online OS”.当然,更多的上诉Facebook的以往任何时候都成为“网上作业系统” 。

If you’re interested too in checking out some of these I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of Webtops in active development.如果您有兴趣太在检查了一些,这些我已经编制了一份全面的名单webtops在积极发展。

Here is a run-down of the best two, and descriptions of some other notables.这里是一个运行下来的最好的两个,并说明其他一些知名人士。 If I missed any then just fire it off in the comments.如果我错过了任何消防然后,只需在它关闭的评论。 Please note this list only includes free services.请注意,这份名单不仅包括免费的服务。

Two Best Webtops最好的两个webtops

G.ho.st g.ho.st

G.ho.st g.ho.st has been getting a little bit of press lately, as much for who the company is rather as what they are actually doing.已取得一点点的新闻最近,由于很多公司是谁,而应视为是什么,他们其实是这样做。 The team is made of Palestinians and Israelis working together online whilst divided by the wall between Gaza and Israel.该小组提出的巴勒斯坦人和以色列人的工作,共同在线,而除以墙加沙和以色列之间。

G.ho.st stands for Globally Hosted Operating SysTem and essentially emulates Windows on the web. g.ho.st主张在全球范围举办的操作系统和主要模拟的Windows在网站上。 It’s not the prettiest, fastest or most stable of the lot, but I feel it does have the most promise.这不是最漂亮的,最快或最稳定的该地段的,但我觉得它也有最承诺。

Why?为什么? Because G.ho.st wants to be to online users what Windows is to PCs, it wants developers to have freedom to create applications and freedom for users to use the online services they wish to.因为g.ho.st希望得到在线用户的Windows是个人电脑,它希望发展商有自由创造的申请和自由为用户使用网上服务,他们希望。 Included online services are Google Docs, Zoho, Flickr and Youtube.纳入在线服务是Google文件, zoho , flickr和YouTube 。 You can add more yourself您可以添加更多的自己

You will receive 5 gigabytes storage space, 3 gigabytes for email and an additional 1 gigabyte for every friend you get to sign up.您将收到5千兆字节的存储空间, 3千兆字节的电子邮件和一个额外的1 GB的每一个朋友,你得注册。

形象

iCloud icloud

iCloud is an equally impressive offering, and I can see it being close competitors with G.ho.st. icloud是一个同样令人印象深刻的提供,而且我可以看到它的竞争对手正在密切与g.ho.st. It’s in a partially private beta, meaning that when you sign up for an account you’ll have to manually approved, but it doesn’t take long.它的在部分私人测试版,也就是说,当您注册一个帐户,您必须手动批准,但它没有考虑长远。 I got mine within half an hour.我得到矿在半小时内。

iCloud has a more unique UI and also runs a tad slower then G.ho.st. icloud有一个更独特的用户界面和也违背了一泰特慢,然后g.ho.st. It comes with a lot of applications, a unique and useful one is Money Manager.说到了很多的应用,一个独特的和有用的,一个是钱经理。 It’s still quite unstable, but seeing as its in pre-alpha its to be expected.它的仍然是相当不稳定的,但看到作为其在预α -干扰素,其可以预料的。

I would suggest both or at least one of these two out if you would like try out an online desktop for the first time.我建议双方或至少有一个这两列如果您想尝试一个在线桌面,为第一次。
