eyeOS is the most breath taking web based desk-top I have ever seen. It is truly a thing a beauty. And it is open source. If you are interested in seeing how slick and how fluid a Web Office applicaiton could be, check out eyeOS.

Their amazing success so far, does, however point to something very important about Web Office. The eyeOS team has built a beautiful and very powerful AJAX / Javascript UI library. Now, they need to do something with it. Their OS needs a killer app, or it needs to be integrated into a killer app.

Most people already have MS Office. If they need another word processor to do real desk-top publishing, do, they’ll do what I did, and buy an iMac and start to use Apple’s Pages.

Regardless of how exactly it gets used, the eyeOS AJAX platform is clearly very impressive and well worth checking out.

BTW, I want to thank whoever runs Wolfwood’s Crowd for pointing me to eyeOS in an article entitled Web OS. For me, this is one of those amazing examples of how the web brings people together. I am afraid I can’t read their site because it is written in something other than English or French, but I was able to understand the headline and see the link to eyeOS.
