Xcerion, the Swedish Company Behind the Revolutionary XML Internet
OS, the World's Next Operating System, Has, After 6 Years in 'Stealth
Mode,' Officially Announced the Beta Launch
Daniel Arthursson, CEO of Xcerion, said, "We are excited to launch
our initial beta program. The launch represents an important
milestone for Xcerion. Yesterday, September 30th, we let our first
limited group of beta testers try the XIOS/3 system. Next month we
will start releasing more features including applications. It feels
great to finally be able to disclose our global Internet service. Our
scaleable Internet OS with offline capabilities that enables extreme
rapid development of software opens up a new era of
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Hundreds of applications lend
themselves to be easily moved to the OS.
"In preparation for the public beta launch later this year, the
limited beta program is targeted at the global developer community.
It provides developers the tools for developing applications.
"We want to create opportunities for developers to create
user-friendly software that runs within the browser without any
plug-ins. This is the beginning of a fundamental shift in computing
as the web browser reinvents itself from being an information
browsing tool to becoming an application platform and API, turning
the traditional OS into a commodity."
The initial beta includes the core operating system, user desktop,
applications, virtual XML file system and a XML text editor for
writing applications.
Planned features in Q4 2007 are:
* Visual drag-and-drop development environment for building XML
applications
* Productivity applications (word, presentation, email, calendar,
rss-reader)
* Marketplace for finding, sharing and selling applications
and content
* Firefox browser support (currently IE6+ is supported)
