xOS Webtop is an open source webtop OS. It's mainly written in HTML5, PHP, and JavaScript. xOS includes a Desktop or Mobile environment with features, applications, and system utilities. And It's accessible on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android through the web browser.[1]
History
The first version of xOS Webtop started development in December 2010, and became available on May 14, 2011. XProduct released version 2.0 of xOS Desktop Edition online for public use. XProduct started development again to make what would later become xOS Webtop 3.0.
Development of a version to follow version 2.0 first released as a beta version before the release of xOS 2.0 Desktop Edition; this beta was reworked from the ground up to become an entirely new version of xOS. In early July a beta of xOS Webtop 3.0 came out.
Further development and updates on this version were fast-paced to the point of being rushed, which resulted in a sub-par experience that had many problems, according to most users. During the continued development on the Desktop Edition of xOS version 3.0, a mobile version was also released (under the name xOS 3.0 Mobile) and continued to be tested and developed as well. On January 5, 2012, XProduct released the newest version of xOS Desktop Edition, version 3.1. This version includes a heavily updated interface to fix issues in version 3.0, as well as a slightly improved setup and additional features. An updated Mobile Edition, also known as version 3.1, was released to coincide with the release of version 3.1 of the Desktop Edition, featuring an updated interface and design from the previous version. Version 3.1 is the first version of the webtop to utilize XProduct's new server, and the website was updated at a new domain xproduct.net upon the release of version 3.1.
Development
Development has been cancelled by the original programmer; however, the code has been made open source.[2] Development includes fixing bugs and uploading fixes, and testing to make sure the program works properly and is secure. Unlike earlier versions of the Desktop Edition, XProduct is no longer releasing updates from the original developers. A tablet version of xOS was in the works to add to the Desktop and Mobile platforms. A developer page was available on the xOS Webtop website for those interested in development.[3]
