If you’re not in enterprise IT, web desktop platforms are strange beasts. Their purpose is the recreation of the traditional desktop environment inside your web browser. For large organizations that manage thousands of machines with relatively narrow purposes, they make a lot of sense. Hence the popularity of Google’s Chromebook with enterprise customers, on account of it being the ultimate fusion of a purely web-based platform with cheap hardware. But for the average joe or jane, the use cases are limited — maybe you’re traveling without a computer, but you still need to access some files from work? I’ve been playing with one of the better-looking entrants into this field, ZeroPC.
