Won’t that happen gradually, in time, as more applications are developed and more users sign up?

I can definitely see applications for this in the business world – especially my industry. I think you are correct that if you have a netbook with a basic set of drivers that hooks to something like Cloudo or Ghost on startup.

Good find Stefan. Good writing too!

There is no need for files at all if you just use web-based applications like Google Docs. But if you insist on managing your own set of files:

How are you going to run anything other than a simple application? Cloudo cannot run Microsoft Office or OpenOffice; it can’t run Photoshop or anything like it. Third-party developers won’t port their apps to a platform that doesn’t have a large number of users.

A remote virtual desktop like Cloudo needs to give the user an established operating environment like Windows or Linux, so that apps like Microsoft Office can be used. (I have no particular interest in remote virtual desktops but I know that some products already exist, e.g. VMware View provides access to a Windows desktop that actually runs on a server.)

You can’t save files to your computer as far as I know.

You, me and John C. Dvorak; Yes we all think about privacy: that’s why I have a password for the smartcard which contains the password to my master password database. All my passwords are usually 12-32 characters HEX or ASCII for bank and PayPal. Which also means that I don’t actually know my Google account password – just the key to unlock it.

The point is, that if you’re careful, and you don’t put your SSN up there, you’ll probably be fine.

Isn’t the point to be able to do stuff like view videos, write, save files, etc without leaving the CloudOS? The whole workflow inside the Cloud OS. Not having to jump from a site to another; I can’t view Box.net files in Google Docs, for example.

Does anyone think of privacy concern? I like the concept and usability behind cloud computing but I can not get read of an idea this would be a perfect place for owners to see our files. Much the same like Google does with our email. I would probably never store something valuable up there. So can cloud be the future? Welcome

I think user-managed files are slowly going away. Files are now automatically managed by the application, e.g. Google Docs and wikis manage their own documents, Flickr manages its photo files, etc. And nobody uses files on their mobiles. (To see a future laptop/netbook, imagine a smartphone of today but with a bigger screen and keyboard.) For those who do insist on managing their own files, a virtual computer like Cloudo is unnecessary. An online drive is sufficient. There are lots of online drives, e.g. Box.net, and for years there have been rumours that Google will introduce a "Gdrive", the latest rumour being here). And files stored on Box.net can be accessed from an iPhone or BlackBerry, which I imagine is not true of Cloudo.

This looks interesting. As for the privacy concern, how easy is it to save your documents to a local USB key drive? I would not worry very much about online documents if I never have to leave them there.

Google Docs could use that feature, actually.

Privacy is a very important issue. I agree that many are not prepared to trust a third party with their sensitive documents.

A great comment, Rohan Jayasekera; I think Cloudo will be the Windows Explorer or Finder in this scheme; it will have your files and let you do simple tasks with them.
