Internet OS

<p>An Internet operating system, or Internet OS, is any type of <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> designed to run all of its applications and services through an <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a> client, generally a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a>. The advantages of such an OS would be that it would run on a <i><a href="/facts/Thin_client/GtBdBho5">thin client</a></i>, allowing cheaper, more easily manageable computer systems; it would require all applications to be designed on <a href="/facts/Cross-platform/16zqdvNR">cross-platform</a>, <a href="/facts/Open_standards/RGvhGQVI">open standards</a>; and would not tie a user's applications, documents, and preferences to a single computer, but rather place them in the <a href="/facts/Cloud_computing/guhg0FGV">Internet cloud</a>. The Internet OS has also been promoted as the perfect type of platform for <a href="/facts/Software_as_a_service/LPyPQ5b7">software as a service</a>.
