Web operating systems unfortunately haven’t caught on yet, but their time is coming, just you wait and see. With connection speeds and performance going up and the complexities many face with organizing their data across multiple workstations and mobile devices, the need for an easy to use and centralized OS is becoming more and more apparent. Desktoptwo is one of a few high quality web operating systems which provide some pretty intense features for the round sum of $0 (my favorite price). Along with 1GB of storage space which you can publicly share with others (file sharing, helloooo), you also have an integrated mail client and address book, web-based IM, office and collaborative apps and a public URL for which to host your personal Desktoptwo blog.

Very cool. I signed up recently (saw it on CNET) and really, really like it. Probably built by a bunch of guys in a garage and already better than anything I’ve seen from Google or the others.

Agreed, it’s looking nice, but, something just doesn’t feel right with having a web desktop. Can’t a web OS do a better UI rather than trying to mimic a desktop?

Well. what if i dont want to install any additional software to use desktoptwo.com ?
A webtop solution which can be found at http://www.oos.cc relies completely on javascript. Additionally the guys of the iCUBE team are working on an API (reBOX) which allows other users to develop applications by using simple javascript.
They also support personalized themes, skins, etc. Currently a filemanager, text editor, image viewer and control panel is supported.
