Dorm USA's Virtual
Desktop is based off of the eyeOS
1.5 Gala WebOS Desktop, an open source software. It works
just like your computer desktop at home, whether it be Windows, Mac, or
Linux, but does one thing that these
desktops don't do: take it with you. That's right! Whether you have
computer at home, a laptop, or even using a public computer at a
library, at school, or a cyber cafe, you can always get to your work
and be able to work on it without changing a thing! All you need to do
is what you are doing right now: open up you browser, go to DormUSA.com
and click on the" Your
Desktop" link, sign in and you are on your own personalized
desktop with the changes you left behind! What's
more, you can share your files with friends and family (so long as they
have a desktop account) of your photos, music, videos, and documents.
If not, you can still keep it private, it's all up to you. Some
services expect you to pay for this type of service. We are
providing this service for FREE for all who wish to use it. It's FREE
to sign up and FREE to use the service.
