Clickable: Web Based Operating System

The link for this week is a simple remake version of Apple’s OSX operating system. Only it runs entirely within your web browser. the functionality is pretty basic but it does include things like the Finder, iTunes and Safari. It is interesting to play with and gives us a taste of what may come in the future as operating systems become more and more integrated with the Internet.

The system is called Mercury and it ran pretty well when I was using it in Safari. I couldn’t get it to work right in Firefox or Internet Explorer though.
