It still needs heaps of work, however it is quite cool to play around with.

Have a go!

I don't understand what the point is in a web OS.
You need an OS to run a browser anyway (well for the moment).

I think it is for "web storage/portable desktop".

Instead of having files on your computer, all is stored on servers so you can access files anywhere in the world (with net access..)

What about TightVNC, ssh, RDP or anything else. You can put these on a USB drive and take them with you.
They you don't have to pay extra for it (above your net access).

Programs like those could have issues behind proxies/restrictive networks

Bandwidth... A HTML-embedded AJAX application requires significantly less bandwidth than VNC or RDP.
