How does XIOS compare to other WebTops and/or WebOS?
|
XIOS is not a WebTop or WebOS, it is not the same kind of technology. We call it an Internet OS since it is more compareable to traditional operating systems, but using the browser as its rendering engine for the user interface. It also includes a XML Virtual Machine, executing applications locally on your computer, not in our data centers. This makes XIOS applications continue to work offline and also become much more responsive than most web applications. A typical WebOS executes most of its program logic in its data center. It is like having all the benefits of web technologies; easy distribution, always the latest version and no installation, but all the benefits of the traditional desktop paradigm like responsiveness and user experience. Xcerions XIOS scales to millions of users, most WebOS out there will not be able to handle that load, since they need to handle the load in their data centers. The more users Xcerion gets, the more processors we will have at our disposal. However each users processor is only used for their own load and applications. Applications in XIOS are built 100% in XML and are executed directly on the client without any server round trips (except for storage). XIOS is the only OS driven completely by XML applications. Using XML makes applications very small and lightweight. |  |
