G.ho.st - The Global hosted operating system

The future of computer documents will be on desktop storage software that lets you manage your computer world from anywhere with ease. With g.ho.st, you can upload and manage documents, applications, and media files on a virtual desktop that you can access anywhere. The service is ideal for people that travel a lot, or students that frequently use community computers. It´s designed to appear just like a computer desktop, so you feel like you´re on your personal machine wherever you are. g.ho.st is still in their very early beta, so it can be a bit slow at times.

“G.ho.st is leading the creation of the Global Hosted Operating SysTem to complement and eventually replace Windows. While Windows runs on a PC, G.ho.st provides a Virtual Computer (VC) which feels very much like a PC but which is available through any browser in the world. Unlike a PC, the VC is available everywhere and is always booted, secure and up-to-date. Also because it is online, the VC provides possibilities for fun and collaboration beyond what is possible with a PC.

It´s necessary to be able to access your computer files and applications on the go these days. G.ho.st manages to do it with style and ease, and they have room for further development as the trend in online desktops continues.

There are plenty of desktop storage sites out there, and g.ho.st is still in development and lacks a few important features (such as back buttons in its browser and offline accessibility ). Will it be able to compete?
