Web 2.0

Platform As A Service, or PaaS is the latest development in virtualization. Where companies started to offer applications online (Saas, Software As A Service) and the use of virtual servers is becoming mainstream, more and more companies now offer a complete operating system as a service online.
Cloudo is the latest addition to platform providers. There are several others that have existed for a while now in the consumer market, but to be honest I have no idea if there is a consumer market for this technology. Virtualization is huge in the business market - after offering servers with virtual servers on top even SUN Microsystems now considers offering online platforms for businesses.
So what is so interesting about Cloudo? Why would we want a webbased operating system? Well, something that makes a huge difference is the option to sync your files to the operating system. Until now, nobody else offers this.
There currently is a private beta for developers only, so there's nothing for me there right now. But I will keep an eye on it.
Cloudo is here.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has tried PerfectMind platform as a service yet? It's in beta right now and is a completely customizable platform in the cloud with all of the tools and resources developers need to create on demand applications.
I ask because I want some feed back and would love to know what developers experienced while using the WPF development interface? I've been doing a lot of reading about PaaS providers and have yet to see any others that allow the integration of third party applications and services, which is an advantage over other providers (Rollbase, LongJump etc.)
Let me know if you guys test it out, I will be in the next few days.

Both Cloudo and Widgetplus grew out of what was Xindesk. You will get access to your account the split second you've signed up.
Widgetplus is evolving rapidly, but the signup / access to your account is already active, so it's really best described as a eternal beta.
New apps will be added now and then until forever..
