I had heard of it before as a concept but trying GHOST was an amazing experience. The Global Hosted Operating System is a first of its kind WebOS. Idea is simple, you get a desktop to play around and access to it from anywhere through any web browser.
Even if you have a dumb terminal at home (I used a second hand old laptop P3) that can handle explorer or firefox, you can access your more powerful online desktop through it. Once online, you are as good as working on a typical system. with 5GB free space and 3GB for mails, its good enough to try it out now. You have the hosted versions of office suite programs for your docs, excels and powerpoints, plenty of games, text editors, FTP clients,control panel, ghost hosted mail client etc etc, you name it you have it.
I was playing around with OpenLaszlo when i came to see one of the sites that had used it for development. And what a product, fantastic!! Talk about $100 laptop, now with hosted webOS, that could be a reality.
