AmoebaOS, a new "webos" with mail clients, ftp, proxying, etc

For a few fractions of a second I had hopes that someone was reviving and opening up the Amoeba project. http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/amoeba/amoeba.html

Fun facts about the Amoeba project, started by Andrew Tanenbaum, worked on by several graduate students including one named Guido Van Rossum who used it as a test bed for a programming language he was developing.

You do realize there will be a point in time we will run out of attractive names for operating systems.

so you need an os and a browser to run this webos ..

kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me ...

I actually quite amused by the following statement: "Imagine being able to boot up your Operating System in 3 seconds"

That is, after you booted up your real operating system.

I think they can do better! They should push it and go where no man has been and load their webos under a second .. (like most of the websites .... grin )
