Oh No! More Ajax

Ok, now things are starting to become ridicule. Ajax this, Ajax that... everything has to be Ajax-enabled to be considered cool. What else can they think of ? An Ajax operating system ? Well...yes :)
Welcome to the wonderful world of AjaxOS, a place where every file is free... I know I'm being a little sarcastic...but just hearing the name sounds a little silly, to say the least. But I don't blame them. At this time, the word sells, so it's a perfect way of getting attention.
Anyway, this new operating system is in fact based on the well known Linspire Linux distribution. What they did was to integrate web (ajax enabled web) applications into the desktop. As cited on their site:

By seamlessly integrating the power of web based applications with Linspire, ajaxOS recognizes any compatible file (doc, svg, odf, txt, xls, etc...) and launches the most up-to-date AJAX software from a Firefox browser.

Actually it can be a good idea if it works well. I'm not saying this will be the future, but it's an alternative that has a few advantages, like a small installation or the ability to open any file format without having to install first the corresponding viewer/player. In some cases, this might be useful, like public-access computers as it reduces configuration and maintenance effort drastically, and may even provide a better service (public-access computers don't usually have all the software one might need at some time).
Anyway, it's still not availalable yet. Let's wait and see...
