XML Internet OS (XIOS) / icloud

There is a lot of discussion going on as a response to some of the articles written about Xcerion regarding the classification of XIOS as an XML Internet OS.

XIOS enables you to run software within your browser much in the same way as you do in Microsoft Windows or Mac OS. The obvious difference being that now you can access all your applications and documents from any computer without having to copy them to an USB-memory stick or mail them to yourself. Furthermore, since XIOS, and all applications built upon it run in a browser window, this platform promises to take user collaboration to a whole new level.

Imagine being able to set up and edit workgroups on the fly, being able to see your peer’s calendar and documents, or being able to work in the same document or presentation file simultaneously with solid version handling and data change management.

Xcerion's XIOS is not just another application framework for developing Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). It's a holistic approach, encompassing such diverse activities as application design, development, deployment and exchange. Its XML-driven architecture and XML Virtual Machine includes many features that clearly set it apart from the roster of Internet services. Features including transaction management, offline mode capabilities, integrated visual IDE, process management, and plug 'n play style interaction with underlying data sources.

Xcerion believes that the term “XML Internet OS” was the best description of the service and underlying technology. It is the first operating system to truly be driven only by XML (Extensible Markup Language).
