Imagine your whole desktop being a website and you've pretty much got EyeOS. To work, you would point your browser to your Eye server and login. Then run apps as you would on your local computer. Anything from Office software to simple games. EyeOS is in very early development but it could catch on. It has a few cool things going for it.
One, it's open source. That allows everyone to participate in it's development, and should you or your business decide to use EyeOS, you will not suddenly lose access to all your files when the private business changes their sales model.
Two, being web based means it runs on such a large variety of hardware with little or no configuration. Since your device needs only to create the connection, there are "device" drivers exactly.
Three, since it's web based all the processing is actually done on the server (your own server by the way). This is a lot like thin clients, or a remote desktop setup. This means your cell phone could batch edit photos just as fast as your quad core desktop at home ... or just as slow.

And pick "Demo" from the top, create a new account, and login to your new computer!
Gazing into the technology crystal ball is a game for fools. Still, it's a pastime, I like to rush in too :) eyeOS is young, but it's definitely one to play with and watch. It could be your next OS!
