"For the purpose of this article, just like the first one, a WebOS is defined as virtual operating system that runs in a web browser environement. Don't like WebOS? Well, call it OnlineOS, or WebTop if you like. So, here is a review of another 10 functional WebOS', as well as some additional similar services which show promise but aren't launched or fully realized yet." More here.

So how long until we're running a web OS, inside a Java browser, inside a browser, in Windows, in Parallels on a Mac?
The lack of defined market will mean most of these "OS"es (I use that term very lightly) will simply fade away, like entirely javascript sites did in 1997.
The only possible use for a Web-OS would be on a thin client, booting only a web browser in fullscreen and connecting to an enterprise Intranet. - And even then, why so much effort when you actual OS already offers more than any ridiculously high-level OS could.
