You have computers everywhere: your home, your office, at your friends’ homes, in the library, in the internet cafй. You carry all the time small computers with you - your smartphone, PSP, GPS, etc. You have multiple USB drives to transfer information from one to another. And still online hard drives are of increasing demand. You get gigabytes of free storage for backup, transfer, and sharing. But, Virtual Computer (VC) does beyond that. G.ho.st provides every person in the world with a free Virtual Computer (VC). Like a Windows PC, or Mac, the VC is a personal computing environment which includes your desktop, your personal settings, your files and your choice of software applications. But unlike a PC, your VC is not installed on one physical computer - instead it is stored in professional data centers across the Internet cloud, and is accessed from any Internet browser in the world. From any computer, open the browser to G.ho.st , enter your username and password, and continue using your VC from exactly the state you last left it in.
Isn’t that handy? You get free familiar environment that is available from any computer in the World, connected to Internet. You get preinstalled the Operating System, many Web Applications, and 5GB of data storage and 3GB of email storage. Software (namely Web-based software) can be run without installation.
The computer is always up-to-date, secure and backed up with no action or cost on your part.
The G.ho.st VC manages all your Web logins and all your web "stuff" (e.g. files on different web services).
Because it is online, the G.ho.st VC provides new possibilities for fun and collaboration, beyond what is available on a PC.
The G.ho.st VC is currently in public "alpha" - the VC is already stable and usable although it does not yet have a complete set of applications, services and widgets associated with it and there are a few bugs. The bugs will be fixed and application added rapidly over the coming weeks. So far, I like the idea, and how it was executed. The service has a great potential, and is highly recommended. Be prepared, that you will get occasional problems accessing the site at first. It just got life, so give the authors a credit, and be patient if something does not work as you want.

You will get an extra 1GB of file storage every time someone you refer to G.ho.st signs up. When you sign for your account, please give my name “nesher9” as referrer, if you do not mind. Note that when system pass Beta phase, it will not be probably free any more. But all the free accounts will be preserved, and all the obtained Virtual PC space will remain yours. So, sign now, and refer more friends to get bigger chunk of the virtual space.
