| 558363 | 2007-06-12 02:23:00 | http://www.eyeos.org Probably one of those things i am going to look into one day, but I was just wondering, as I am having problems finding specs for it, like what are the minimum browser specs you need to run it etc |

| 558365 | 2007-06-14 14:52:00 | Essentially, eyeOS is like Goowy, except it does not run on Flash. The applications run on almost any browser, based on Javascript. It ain’t bad but it’s not a fully-functional Windows-replaceable operating system just yet. It has a word processing program, chat, calendar, RSS, and a Web browser. It is missing a spreadsheet and presentation program, among other things that would make it a proper OS. But it’s a work in progress. :nerd: | roberts (12405) | ||

Lots of things (or the lack of them) prevent Win$$$ from being other than an aspiring OS. I will agree that applications are not part of the OS, but whatever Windows is good at (Marketing ? ) - "proper" is hardly a feature. However, it is an ideal companion for a Packard-Bell. ;) |

| 558368 | 2007-06-15 04:07:00 | Back when falsh drives were quite expensive (4-5 years ago) I was looking for an alternative way to send myself work from school to home (school started blocking e-mail websites, and we didn't have school addresses at that time). I tried eyeOS for copying and pasting word doccuments into eyeOS and then copy and pasting them out again at home. It worked fairly well. A flash drive does the job much better though. |
