I've been interested in full operating systems implemented /in/ the browser for a while (rather than access remotely). The Linux in Javascript demo seemed like a neat demo: http://bellard.org/jslinux/ http://bellard.org/jslinux/ But I think it would be neat to create an in browser operating system that forwards traffic via a Websockets proxy. That's partly what prompted me to create minaterm: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9137496 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9137496 (https://www.minaterm.com https://www.minaterm.com). Which is a full ssh client implemented in Javascript. It creates complete ssh sessions in the browser and then uses a TCP proxy on the server to connect to the target server. This was kind of a tech demo as a first step to implementing a complete OS in the browser. I can see that you could have encrypted drive images that the browser would download and launch (based on a user supplied password which never hits the server). It seems like a neat idea, though I'm not exactly sure what the practical applications are! :)
