So, it seems Microsoft may now not be able to release its Vista RC1 candidate on time due to interoperability problems with existing hardware and software, potentially delaying the pre-release until after the autumn. While we wait for more developments from Redmond's lumbering software giant, why not give one of the innovative new online OS services a shot?

Web-based operating systems are becoming a great alternative to Windows, as they offer you the ability to work from the same desktop wherever you go – a dream for Net café dwellers everywhere. eyeOS is a new open-source development which treats you to a sweet assortment of features including directories, a competent text editor, messaging, a web browser and an RSS feed reader. You can also download and add a range of applications such as games, productivity utilities, image editors and mapping services. Check out the online presentation (complete with a divine electro backing track) to see why it may be time to say 'hasta la vista' to Windows.
