when i worked with them (2004) we used volatile storage (ram drives)… and pxe boot machines… I work for a trendy retailer now and they are on the forefront of bullshit projects because they are cool… so i can see the adoption, but currently we just store unencrypted data on ram drives.

I haven’t had a chance to read up on this though… it does look like the OS is stored and hosted and just replicated to the internet and sync’d? so is there a hard install somewhere? or is it just an active OS that is essentially xml’d?

oh… i read up on it… it’s just using apache to ftp files! lol… echo2 is something i’ve used to do just this in the past… just java crap… i guess no one just labeled web dev product as an “OS” before 🙂
