Announcement eyeos 2.0 from 1 january, 2010

I am sure there are those who are interested in the concept of virtual OS.

As you already know, it was decided to release eyeos 2.0 this year. From the first days of eyeos 1.0, it was clear that eyeos 2.0 would be more than just finalizing versions 1.x with a new theme. The developers wanted to do something completely new, the plans were as follows: transforming the desktop, new applications in the basic package, increasing usability.

After several weeks of hard work, the developers are ready to present you the developments of eyeos 2.0.

Please note that the screenshots are not the final versions of the components. Not a few changes will be made.

Desktop Eyeos desktop, the first thing we will see after authorization. Major changes are expected in the very concept of the desktop. The developers decided to replace the desktop icons with information useful to the user.

Added a dock bar for available applications, system events, etc. The main part of the new interface is a small window containing links to various applications, the necessary information about them. For example, events on your calendar, changes in the eyeos environment, any of your files, etc.

Collaboration has become more convenient Want to work on a document together? Easy! Just create a document and invite your colleague. Eyeos will show who, where and what wrote. The document is automatically blocked in the part on which one of the users is working, and automatically shifts up or down so that it is convenient for you to work regardless of the editable zones. You can comment on any part of the document, see the changes made by colleagues. There are distribution groups for access to the document. You and your colleagues will always be in the know about the latest changes to the document even when they are outside the system, due to messages sent by e-mail.

Notifications EyeOS 2.0 will show which of the colleagues on the network can talk and work. In real time. EyeOS 2.0 is available to developers since November, 2009. The system is available to everyone since January 1, 2010.

New applications EyeOS 2.0 has a full-featured word processor (with collaboration mode), an instant messaging system, a completely new and powerful calendar integrated with other applications. To work on each application, teams have been created, consisting of at least a developer and a designer, for development and support.

Revised the process of installing new applications The applications installed by the system administrator will be available to all users who are left with the choice of the ones necessary in their personal environment. The user can install client programs without administrator confirmation.

New tools, core, libraries and services. Feedback support EyeOS 2.0 has acquired a new, improved API, file system, kernel, updated libraries. Now the system as a whole has become more resistant to stress and faster. The reverse support for old applications pleased no less, because applications under 1.x remained relevant.

Redesigned sync EyeSync 1.x is replaced by a new project developed specifically for EyeOS 2.0, available for Win, Mac and Linux. Contacts, plans, including support for the most popular applications for Win, Mac and Linux).

When will we get all this?
