AjaxWindows: All the benefits of a real OS, but a lot slower

AjaxWindows still don't fully get the whole Web operating system concept. Why run an OS inside a browser when your browser is running in an OS to begin with?

But AjaxWindows, a Web OS and application suite that makes a very good case for the Web OS. It's not ready yet for adoption by the world at large, but the idea behind it, and some of the features in it, are too interesting to write off as just yet another science project.

Ajax13, the company that makes AjaxWindows, was originally started to create Web-based applications. It made a word processor, sketching program, and a presentation application.

AjaxWindows stores its files in Google's Gmail. Considering Gmail's free storage (over 2.5 GB), that's clever, even if Google wasn't consulted for this application. AjaxWindows, and its native applications, store everything except music files in Gmail (Music is stored on MP3Tunes).
