logoodesk-thumb OODesk: Your Virtual Desktop Having access to my work from anywhere is certainly an alluring prospect to be sure, but only being able to access this work from within a virtual, web-based operating system does seem rather limiting, should I wish to access the data in a more robust application. The OOSDesk, an online office ergonomics that offers its users a software needed to create documents, listen to music, chat with his friends and many more with a free authorized access from any type of aircraft equipped with a web browser.

OODesk really took the interface at heart and has developed a lot of great practices and applications that are not away from the users. After a quick registration, you can go directly to your online space where you can use your documents etc. as if they are on your computer. OODesk is equipped with pre-installed applications that allow you to perform your daily tasks like spreadsheet, text editor, webmail etcetera.

In addition to its features that are found on most OS online, OODesk is more extensible, since it is possible to install new applications downloaded from a server to create and manage your content unlike Linux if you know the principle. You can store all your files and access them at all the times. You can also organize, view your photos, listen to your favorite music and watch your interesting videos from any place.

The transfer of files to or from a PC is quite simple via its browser and even better, by enabling drag and drop with a help of a right mouse click on the desktop in order to store your file online. And like many virtual desktops, each file can be shared with your friends, colleagues and thirds.

A quick access to the upper left is rather convenient and allows you to quickly launch any of your favorite applications like Gmail, Google talk, Google Docs, Netvibes, Deezer, Youtube etcetera.

Last but not the least, one of the greatest features of this platform is OODisk that allows remote access to files on its own computer (and not just on the server OOdesk).

I’m not sure about the need of a general-purpose online operating system just yet, although the tools and concepts in OODesk might make a very useful platform for one of the new suites.
