EyeOS 1.2, a web-based operating system, has been released. "We are proud to announce that eyeOS 1.2 has just been released! It's not just a necessary update on eyeOS 1.x, but also a bunch of new features and applications needed by eyeOS to be really useful for the every day use. Need to send a mail? Well, just open eyeMail. Did your friend send a Microsoft Word file? No problem, eyeOS will open it and allow you to modify it. Want to have multiple groups for family and friends to share information between them? eyeControl 1.2 will let you do that and much more, visually."

"So I guess this OS should learn something about keyboard commands and drop targets."
Keyboard? Who clicks on a keyboard today anyway. :-)
You're mentioning a valid point. Most tasks that you could imagine to use eysOS with are bound to keyboard operations, so a good support would be very nice. But I see a problem because usually keys are bound to certain browser functions, so it's important to check interference here.
Personally, I think the appendix "OS" is a bit misleading here because this "OS" requires an OS running a web server. I would think of eyeOS more as a kind of remote GUI...

It looks really cool and works nice. However, I was unable to open a note I placed on the desktop. Perhaps I should have given it an extension, but IMHO the note-taking application should append an extension itself if it needs one.
I was also unable to delete the note I placed on the desktop. I tried deleting by these means:
- selecting the file icon and click Delete (does nothing)
- dragging the file icon to the Trash-icon (just moves the file icon)
- opening the Trash open dragging the file icon into it (also just moves the file icon underneath the Trash window)
So I guess this OS should learn something about keyboard commands and drop targets. Perhaps I might not even expect stuff like this at this time of development, but I thought that with a 2.0-release I might try this more advanced stuff out too.
