A Free XML-Based Operating System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the xml-versus-adam-oh-forget-it dept.

Dotnaught writes "For the past five years, Xcerion has been working on an XML-based Internet operating system (XIOS) that runs inside a Web browser and promises radically reduced development time. To provide developers with an incentive to write for the platform, Xcerion's back-end system is designed to route revenue, either from subscription fees or from ads served to users of free programs, to application authors. Think of it as Google AdSense, except for programmers rather than publishers. Is it absurd to think this poses a threat to Google and Microsoft?"

    Those guys can't even put down proper HTML, I'm not sure i'd trust them to write a whole web-based "OS" in XML

  2. Why require a browser by broothal · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Back in the late 80's when I got on the net we all had a pretty good idea what "the internet" was. Now, 20 years later, the internet is almost synonymous with WWW. I'd like to see good solutions taking advantage of the internet, but why does it always have to require a web browser?
