BigRedFed writes "Michael Robertson, of mp3.com fame, Linspire.com fame (or infamy depending on your view point) and more recently, ajax13.com has released another interesting piece of web software. ajaxWindows they are calling it and it's an almost full fledged web based OS that you can use to transport around your documents and mp3 collection to any device with an internet connection and a full web-browser."

Zero comments and the site is already reporting 404 error, makes you wonder how scalable it is...

"He's dead already, Jim."

And that's too bad ... I would have liked to have taken a look at it first before commenting on it.

Guess I'll just start commenting anyway.

No problem with AjaxWindows. I don't see a lawsuit coming at all! (If Lindows causes a lawsuit, then AjaxWindows (combining the power of TWO trademarked names) should solve the problem!)

My web-based OS has crashed with an error "404 not found" and since the screen is not blue, I don't know how I should approach this! Can you please reboot the internet for me?

Thanks in advance! :-)

The early 90s called, they want their SPARCstation 5s back.

They can't have it - I'm using it as a printserver!
