Recently, a new web-based operating systems ( WebOS) launched its private beta suite in another attempt to bring the desktop to the browser. Its name is Cloudo, it was made in Sweden and it was previously a part of Xindesk which has now separated itself into two entities, the other being an open widget platform dubbed WidgetPlus.

There are a number of web-based operating systems already on the market, e.g. G.ho.st, Jooce, YouOS, eyeOS and DesktopTwo to name but a few, and Cloudo doesn’t bring a lot of new things to the table yet: it features file hosting, virtual desktop widgets, applications, e-mail and contact management and eventually a full suite of programs you’d expect from a regular desktop OS. You can sign up for the beta here.

Virtualization may be big in the business market, but is a web-based OS really something consumers are waiting for?
