Web desktops are back again! It seems it's been a long time since I last saw one. This topic always generates a big debate whether a cloud os is the future or not. In my opinion, the idea of running a universally accepted "computer" accessible from anywhere and any device is actually really powerful and centralizing all our internet lifes in one place so we can control our data is huge.

EDIT: I've been playing around with horbito for a while and it's pretty badass, it works quite fast and integrates really well with Microsoft Office, kudos for the team

Great point, I'm checking out office now... I use to be a heavy excel user, but ever since arch, I've been stuck on gsheets

if this could run excel smoothly, it would be pretty amazing, I've been trying to find a solution but yet to find a good seamless one. Wine/virtualbox are both mediocre solutions atm.

Thank you very much!! We also think web desktops are the future, there have been many attempts in the past but they never really worked, technology has advaced a lot since then and has enabled us to create for the fist time a really good user experience
