Comments on: Start-up Xcerion offers a peek at the clouds

Swedish company shows the potential of a browser-based desktop. But will the little guys stand a chance against the likes of Google and Microsoft?

Not original, been done many times before

This is at least the 10th company to do this.... Most of them have failed miserably.

Betcha' dollar Microsoft scoops them up ..?

Sounds like Xcerion has made some nice progress, and who wants to bet if they look like they are in -any- way pulling ahead of the 800lb gorilla with a Cloud OS, Microsoft will be there with check in hand forthwith? ;-)

I agree.

I agree.

No one has shown any demand for what these essentially are: code bloated websites.

And what incentive does a developer have to write an app for this environment only when there is no demand?

Sorry, but I question the judgment of anyone who thinks this is the future.

Check out http://G.ho.st

Good luck to Xcerion - we are also strong believers that the entire desktop will follow web mail and web albums onto the Web. You might like to check out the G.ho.st offering (short for Global Hosted Operating SysTem) at http://G.ho.st as well.

Brilliant

I just received my beta account and have been trying it out.

Very nice looking.

Not sure what the results of playing media will be but will surely keep trying.

I can see this being a great thing for an Asus eee or Everex Cloudbook hooked up to Clearwire Wimax.
