A look at beachballing Firefox and crashing Safari.

[ITASOR]

It doesn't even work for me in Safari or Firefox. I finally got it to boot up in Firefox and it seems like it's working but none of the windows or programs that I open have anything inside them...they're just the outlines of the windows.

I don't really see the point of this either? Web based OS's are something I've never understood...they're too slow to really use and you already have to be running an OS on your computer to access them. :confused:

I think the idea is you can run it on *a* computer versus *your* computer.

But, this certainly has a long ways to go. Long long ways. Not ready to be MacBytten.

posted more as a "hey look at this" than a "here's the next thing you'll want to follow."

Kinda cool! Worked for me in Safari 2 on Intel. No starlight mints of delay. Slooooooooooow to "boot" and operate though! I gave up before long.

And a thorough violation of Apple's IP :o

Then again, I have a real Mac so I don't need "like a Mac."

[Genghis Khan]

of course you have a real mac...otherwise you wouldn't be here:p


sooo slow....but a novel idea:)
