Free Cloud Desktop
Desktop Anywhere – Free Cloud Desktop
Desktop Anywhere is a pioneer in Cloud Computing. Our new offering, the Free Cloud Desktop, is truly a remarkable concept and an indicator of where technology is going to ultimately be and how fast the pace is. Which raises the question, ” why would anyone want a Virtual Desktop to begin with?” Well the answer is, a lots of reasons, and believe us, you want one.
We are making great progress and are on schedule for releasing something for the public at large this year. While we still have a bit of work to do and we expect to have at least the new Beta ready by early 2012.
Here is a preview of our Beta Test Free Cloud Desktop as it looks in draft form. We have since added some applications and functionality:
Beautiful isn’t it? Just wait until you have one!

This simple answer is that for most people, once they use the right fit Cloud Services, they just don’t want to be without them. We just can’t imaging living with just a traditional desktop anymore. It is just nowhere near as good as a desktop in the cloud. So, What is a Desktop and What is a Virtual Desktop?
A Desktop is a combination of an Operating Systems (OS) with some Application Programs running on it with some storage in the form of a Drive and with user access commonly in the form of a monitor display, keyboard and mouse. A Virtual Desktop is different in the sense that the Operating System and Programs and Storage are somewhere on the Internet or Network and work on any acceptable user device configuration. A Free Cloud Desktop is a Virtual Desktop that is run for the network at no charge with, of course, some agreed to limitations in the terms of service.
Desktop Cloud Computing, Cloud Desktop Services, Personal Cloud Desktop, Remote Desktop Cloud, Cloud Desktop Management, Cloud Desktop Virtualization and Smart Business Desktop Cloud are all terms that center around the same Cloud Based Service Model. While these are all flavors of the same thing, implementations differ a lot. And so does the cost model.
One need not explain why the Free part is a good thing for most folks. Explaining the concept of a Free Cloud Desktop is never going to work near as well as experiencing it for yourself. Not that it is not compelling as an idea. It’s just a bit like trying to explain why ice can be very refreshing to someone that has never had it. No description is going to be as good as experiencing an ice cold drink on a hot day, nor what it would be like to live without such.
Now you likely want to know, “how can I get one?” Desktop Anywhere currently has our Beta Test Version of the Free Cloud Desktop available to a select community of clients and industry thought leaders. We expect that in early 2012 we will expand distribution, perhaps even making it available to the general public. We anticipate that we will have the first production version The Desktop Anywhere Free Cloud Desktop out by the end of this year. And our free cloud desktop with OpenOffice clone Libre Office already installed along with DropBox, email, Firefox and many other software programs and related functionality.
We just finished creating the web enabled front end on October 2011. It works even better that with the native client. One of our Windows 7 test PC machines was having some issues releasing. That might just be a glitch requiring reinstalling the software. In any case, as we will be using the web enabled version, we are getting very close to releasing a public version of the Free Cloud Desktop very soon.
The best way we have been able to set it up so far is by using outside Cloud Services vendors. This provides Free Cloud Desktop Access, with some terms and conditions and limits based on use. More specific information about the particulars will follow soon.
The implications of such a Cloud Desktop that runs free of charge from any suitable endpoint are significant. Who really knows where the Desktop itself will be in five years? At Desktop Anywhere we have long searched for such a Free Desktop option and have finally found the secret sauce to put it together. And this is not just some enhanced Web Page masquerading as a Desktop, it is a true Cloud Desktop in the strictest sense of the word. We really hope we will be able to further the effort to a point by the end of the year where will allow open access to this revolutionary category of computing.
We are pretty sure that once you have actually used Free Cloud Desktop Computing in your daily life, you will love it as much as we have since the year 2000. The great benefits of this approach is no server to hassle with, no Microsoft Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and the ability to access your Data and Desktop for Free as your own Personalized Portal.
We also are including a Secure Tunnel aspect and the ability to clear as many firewalls as possible. Imagine being able to access your Personal Desktop and Data from almost any computer on any network (including your workplace) without worrying about privacy issues. Clearly key loggers and proxy servers must still be considered but privacy is relative anyway on the Internet.
Will this be the best free cloud desktop you have ever seen? Is it the best one out there today? It may well be, but best is a matter of opinion and we want yours.
When we release the Desktop Anywhere Free Cloud Desktop, which we expect is very soon, we will have come a long way. Clearly, this solution won’t be for everyone. Frankly, mostly technically interested and adept folks will be happiest with it at this stage. But, it is a another step in the direction of Open Source Cloud Computing.
So, tell us what you think of our Free Cloud Based Desktop look, concept, approach and ideas any you have about it. We want to know.
We sort of backed into this solution developing Cloud Solutions for a Personal Private Portal Corporate Cloud Desktop, the standard Corporate Cloud Desktop, Cloud Storage and other typical Business Requirements. We hear that’s how disruptive innovation works much of the time.
