Ulteo releases Linux desktop; bent on world domination
,----[ Quote ]
| When we last left our favorite evil geniuses at Ulteo, they were diligently
| plugging away at making OpenOffice.org applications accessible through a
| browser. Now, they've taken their plans for global domination one step
| further with Ulteo Application System Beta 1 (codename "Sirius"). For those
| of you wondering what exactly an "Application System" is: Think operating
| system.
|
| Yes, Ulteo's Sirius is a Linux distro designed to integrate nicely with the
| online applications they provide. For instance, saving a document to a
| specific folder "auto-syncs" with the Ulteo servers online. It's then
| accessible from other computers through your Ulteo web account.

Ulteo Application System Beta 1 - the FOSSwire review
,----[ Quote ]
| Ulteo is no ordinary Linux distribution. It demonstrates incredible
| innovation.
|
| It is clear that in the future, we won’t use computers anything like we do
| now. More and more data will be moved away from specific client devices, like
| the PC, and be put on a server somewhere. It will be networks and
| infrastructure that then connect each client device to the data.
|
| Wherever you are, whatever device you’re using, you’ll be able to access your
| data and keep it fully synchronised with everything else.
|
| Ulteo doesn’t do all this yet, it’s not even close. But Ulteo takes an
| important step towards this goal, and demonstrates how this might be
| possible, perhaps giving a little window into what could happen in the
| future.
|
| It is an extremely promising proof of concept that this just might be able to
| work and I will continue to follow the Ulteo project with keen interest.

| I will admit that I haven’t played with it that much, so this review is a bit
| limited. That said, if you are away from your home machine, your office
| machine or even your home country, you can be working fairly quickly whether
| you carry a laptop or not.
|
| If you are interested, go to the Ulteo homepage and sign up and try it out.
| It’s still in it’s relatively early stages (the software included in the
| desktop is not current) but already you can see that you have much more than
| Google are offering.
