| '''G.ho.st''' | |||
| ---- | |||
| the Global Hosted Operating SysTem is a Virtual Computer (VC). The user accesses the virtual computer from any browser by entering the URL http://G.ho.st or simply G.ho.st. The user registers the first time and subsequently gains access by entering a username and password. | |||
| The G.ho.st virtual computer presents itself, within the browser, similarly to the Windows desktop – a start menu, task bar, background picture, and windows in which are running the hosted applications and services. Within the Windows the user might be running word processors, spreadsheets, e-mail, shopping, games, Internet banking etc. – a full range of software and services which matches and eventually exceeds the range available on Windows. All of this, of course, without actually having to install and administer any software. | |||
| In many ways the G.ho.st VC feels like Windows but there are some major advantages: | |||
| • The G.ho.st VC is always running – you don’t need to boot it up – you can leave it and come back to it anywhere, anytime and it will be in the same state | |||
| • The G.ho.st VC is equally accessible from any browser in the world, not tied to a PC | |||
| • The G.ho.st VC is tightly integrated with the Internet – for example it’s easy to have streaming information on your desktop and online multi-user collaboration | |||
| • You don’t need to install or update software – you just find hosted software and services and subscribe to them instantly. | |||
| • The G.ho.st service and many of the third party hosted software and services are free of charge. | |||
