eyeOS a ‘very close’ Web Operating System
Agile Web Application Development with Yii 1.1 and PHP5
I would like to talk to you about an open source Web application that I have followed since its beginnings: eyeOS. This application started with the goal to become a true Web Operating System and now the guys call it Open Source Cloud Computing’s Web Desktop. Even though the idea of having the system files on a server and have ‘dumb’ clients is not new, these guys have created a great tool and nowadays they even work in conjunction with the IT monster IBM.
Maybe the dreamed future of every System Administrator is near, where they do not need to have certain operating system installed on their computers and everything, every little detail, is managed from a server. Client computers just having a ‘web browser’ and a reliable network bandwidth (most LAN do have it) will reduce enormously companies costs and Microsoft’s pocket
Even though I think is a great tool I dislike their interface (sorry guys), it looks far too much like Windows and I think… that nowadays we could provide a better and more intuitive interfaces for clients. Not everybody is a guru folks and not everybody needs to learn Windows to use a computer. Best days are about to come but meanwhile, congratulations eyeOS.
