“Although eyeOS is technically a web application, conceptually
it blurs the line between an application and an operating system.
Unlike Google’s office offerings such as Google Docs, eyeOS offers
a full desktop, complete with movable windows, alongside a suite of
applications. What’s more, the system is extensible, and developers
are free to create their own applications for the system and to
modify the open source version of the project. At the time of
writing, version 2.5 is the latest official release and 1.9 is the
community-maintained release of the old 1.x branch.”
