Ray Ozzie “internet cloud”? Hmmm.

Interesting choice of name/jargon here, considering that Jim Allchin as a PhD canidate @ GaTech started the CLOUDS distributed operating system project way back in 1982.

Oh well, who says the technology business is fast paced?

Like Malik Om pointed out, it runs offline too, which is a big differentiator to all other web technologies and Internet services available today. It also includes an IDE for rapid application development.

The offline feature proves that there is more going on in XIOS than just being a cool window manager for moving around web applications, mostly executing on the server side (using some server language). XIOS applications are built 100% in XML and are executed directly on the client without any server round trips.

XIOS does not contain a kernel or device drivers. Why reinvent the wheel? Today’s commodity operating systems handles this with brilliance, what Xcerion wanted to do was to improve the layers of an OS that sits on top of the lowest core. The part of an OS where the most end user value is achieved. We wanted zero-installation and choose to use a browser as the UI rendering engine, however our OS consists of many of the parts that make up a traditional desktop OS. Including process handling, file system and programming APIs.

Leveraging the network, XIOS uses XML and enables collaboration for all its applications. The OS also features XML Web Services support and a built in transaction manager for keeping all data synchronized in all scenarios. Since XIOS is built using AJAX technologies, current web applications may be run on XIOS (without offline support) and traditional server technologies like Java, PHP or .NET may be used to dynamically create XIOS XML applications (with offline support).
