Threat to Windows. Operating systems which can run in the cloud

Google said it is launching an operating system that all your data will be loaded into a personal account online. Apple came up with a similar system, iCloud.



The idea to put your data in the cloud is not new. Instead of physical hard disk, there will be a virtual cloud that will store your photos, favorite music, files and personal documents. That will happen with the launch of laptops that will work with Chrome OS operating system.



Steve Jobs presented ICloud, which will provide, for the beginning, a space of 5GB (about 400 pictures, books and documents and about 700 songs).



In fall, those who want a bigger cloud, to put more data online, can buy more space from Apple. Such data storage services already have Microsoft and HP.



Even if Chrome OS operating system that only works via the Internet has just been announced, there was already a pretty big competition, there are some programs more than five years.



Here are the most common: CloudMe, EyeOS, Glide and JoliOS.



All of this, at least with one year before Windows 8.
