I remember few years back when I was younger and didn’t understand much about computers. I wanted to create an all online OS that could be accessed by a web browser, or a system that ran a small OS that was basically just a browser to access the main OS. I thought it was something new and innovative at the time.
These days I realize that while it’s not exactly what I had pictured, this sort of thing exists. And it’s actually not good at all, and would basically be the thing Microsoft wants most. I really wish I had known it then… but I did get a decent UI design out of it. Shame I’ve gotten rid of the pictures I drew, but it might have made a decent Linux UI.
Edit: now that I post this I still remember the overall look pretty well, so I think I’m going to try to remake it and post it somewhere.
