Good OS, a company well-known for it gOS linux distribution and their $199 Walmart computers has announced a new OS called "Cloud". Good OS described their new Operating System in a press release "Cloud uniquely integrates a web browser with a compressed Linux operating system kernel for immediate access to Internet, integration of browser and rich client applications, and full control of the computer from inside the browser."

There was a shell that Be Inc. developed for BeOS that basically had the browser and everything integrated into the shell. It was for the BeAppliances. If you ever had the Beta Dan0 installed on your system they had the program in the System folder if I remember correctly.
I miss my old BeBox with das blinken lights.

I have not idea what you are talking about. I have been using BeOS from 1999 and BeOS itself never had operated that way.
If you are about the Be_Appliance then that was just a few lines in the boot script that invoked the system browser NetPositive. But BeOS never ran inside a browser to my knowledge.
