nn website. novelty use, but not actually useful (because there are in fact, useful web desktops). got a couple press hits, but this is not an important product for wikipedia to document. largely written by single purpose account, so is almost certain to be somewhat spammy. has been tagged as an ad.

- Comment I have no knowledge of this stuff, but isnt cloud computing hailed as the next big paradigm shift, then "the cloud" need operating systems like this one to work. Have alternatives to deletion been considered, would a List of virtual operating systems for cloud computing be a useful resource? Power.corrupts (talk) 10:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, please. This isn't cloud computing or a serious attempt to develop anything. This is a novelty. There are serious and legitimate online desktop systems. This is a bad joke. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Delete, non-notable web content. Anything described as a "paradigm shift" is almost certain to end up as an inane buzzword; even if there's substance to "cloud computing" I doubt that a web based Windows emulator would ever be anything but a bandwidth eating novelty. Only 3 Google News hits; one is Vietnamese, another is Spanish, and the last looks like Tamil, so I am in no position to judge their reliability or depth. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:41, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment appears to copy content from Web Desktop. I'd say merge to that article except IIRC anything listed in the table there is supposed to be blue-linked, so that would be the same as a delete. A quick glance at the references is not showing much that would denote notability, but I suspect it is on a par with the other blue linked articles from there so i feel odd singling it out.

- the chart on Web Desktop is a mixed bag. some of those easily meet our critera, and several do not. i promise to go clean that up - in the meantime judge this subject on its individual merit, not on whether WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this website. Joe Chill (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There are several Web Desktop applications in wikipedia. Do you want to delete entire section or only selected one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.73.30.174 (talk) 21:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
