Also, inspire other developers and designers to come up with ideas like these for websites. Although there’s not a lot you can do with it, and in no means this project is meant to give you a virtual second desktop, but, it’s a great way to get a minor feel of OS X before you go ahead with a purchase, provided that you plan to do it.

I’m going to put it out there with a thumbs up that the developer has done a very good job at this. We can’t wait to see how the web changes over the coming years. That may be some way off becoming reality, but we all know how quickly things can change in this game, don’t we? If the web can really replace native applications then why would we need an operating system like we have today? You really need to give the thing a try yourself to appreciate it, but with web apps like this on the horizon, we have to wonder if Google has the right idea with its Chrome OS. There’s no doubt that Alessio Atzeni does!

The demonstration, put together by Alessio Atzeni is there to give us all an idea of just what is possible if you know what you’re doing. HTML5 and CSS3 are two technologies that will allow web developers and designers to make more sophisticated websites, blurring the lines between the internet and ‘real’ applications. Entering the password of ‘admin’ will then cause the web app to launch what appears to be a Mac desktop. Firing up the project will start you off with what appears to be a Mac’s power-on screen, which will eventually give way to an OS X logon screen. Put simply, the whole thing is actually a web page.Īnd it’s not static, either.
