DOS Application Cloud Computing Applications Web OS The whole world, from IBM to Google, Yahoo & Microsoft every tech company and anyone who is remotely related to technology talks about “Cloud Computing”, “The Web OS”, “Cloud Applications” and what not!

Why do technology companies encourage users to use the web OS? Is it just to put all your data on the web or to make the PC OS meaningless? I say if there is so much effort put in to create an online web OS then there should be effort put into creating applications which will help users to get online without using OS such as Windows, Linux, etc…

Such efforts will keep the hardware requirement to the minimum and bring the cost of owning a computer down thus increasing the internet penetration in developing and underdeveloped countries.

Following are the list of things we should have to make it possible

DOS based applications which are capable of working with most of the hardware accessories like mouse, keyboard, printer, webcam, etc… treating them as plug n play devices.
DOS based web browser which works as the IE, FireFox or Opera. Plays movies, flash, images, etc..

I think evolution of technology does not mean compromising on features but the real meaning of evolution is taking the technology to the next level by offering mind blowing and out of the box features and reducing the cost of owning the technology at the same time.

This is one site which offers a list of very interesting DOS based programmes. http://www.opus.co.tt/dave/indexall.htm
