This is a web OS in the sense that you can build desktop like apps on top of it. I'm currently building a ray tracing application on top of the Sharedigm OS and I imagine that others have applications like this that they'd like to move to the cloud while also preserving a desktop like user experience.

Question: If this platform were released as open source or fair source, is there an audience of people that would consider building applications on top of it?

It's an appealing idea, but I have a feeling that today, most wouldn't even consider building on top of anything that's not provided by Apple/Google/MS.
