Few days ago, we covered DesktopTwo, webOS. It was using flash for all its features. There is another Web operating system called YouOS. Unlike its competitors, YouOS is completely powered by AJAX. It uses no Flash. It might be really useful for people who don’t have Flash player. Not just for them, considering some of the cool features, i would rate YouOS higher than DesktopTwo. YouOs gives a better feeling of using a real OS than DesktopTwo.
By default your OS will have about 12 apps. And they have a very huge list of 692 apps, from which you can add more to your OS. They even allow 3rd party to develop apps for the YouOS (I am planning to develop one :D). They many features of a standard operating system such as Changing wallpapers, Shortcuts and more…
What it mainly lack is the “right-click” feature. Without this, i feel the OS is incomplete. Besides that it is perfect. However, i’d really advise them to work more on the interface. It looks a lot like a 13 year old’d HTML page.
Its only in Alpha stage now. So its a great start. Once they get better and they are out of Alpha and Beta, i’m planning to make the move from Netvibes to YouOS.
Update : Here are a few screenshots :-
