Slashdot has a link to a article that takes a quick look at ten Web operating systems. The blog, Frantic Industries, is not one I have been to before but they did a nice job of quickly going over the 10 OSs. They author is not that big of a fan of the use of Flash for this application, a point that I agree with him on, but he seems to be fair about his assessment of each of the sites. Of the ten I have used a few, most notably Goowy, YouOS, and EyeOS. I would definitely recommend people take a look at Goowy, it is a pretty cool platform that is gaining a solid following and seems to be getting a fair amount of attention from the Web 2.0 crowd and has a good set of developers behind it. I am not sure what the future for any of these is, especially once Google comes out with something, but the Web OS is a great idea and it is something that will eventually replace our stand-alone web services like web mail, RSS, file storage, etc.
