im sorry...but what is the point of this "OS"? It doesn't even seem to be a real os. Just a nice way of showing links to all your accounts.

Which is essentially the point of a cloud os. Its operating under the assumption that every "application" you want to use will be self contained in the form of a website. So, for instance, instead of having a Microsoft Word binary compiled for the OS, you simply have a link to Google Docs. I'm downloading the .iso right now to try it on a VM, but this seems like it would be very useful for older computers, or computers for people who only email and do basic browsing.
