OSNews, Generic OSes EyeOS is a free, cross-platform personal content manager system based upon the style of a desktop operating system. The base package includes the whole operating system structure and ten apps: a calendar, file manager, text editor, internal messenger, browser and calculator. EyeOS's is thought to provide a complete, scalable and free (GPL) organization and work system. Everyone can port an existing PHP app to EyeOS and create a meta-package. You can test it online here.

I guess the purpose is to be a thin client, but since thin clients are easier and faster when using the slew of other technologies to accomplish thin clients, it comes down to EyeOS really lacking compared to the alternatives.

OK, a thin client. But to access the "os" the thin client would still need to have at least the capabilities of WinCE (for example) - which has a web browser and a claendar and a calculator and so on. There is still no need.
