"As netbooks proliferate, the talk about cloud computing buzzes on. And as Microsoft and Google ready their cloud-based app suites, a bevy of lesser known 'Webtops' are available now. We take a look at the main ones, and pick the winners. "

But so far, it's not entirely clear how these systems will work or what they will be able to do. Google's <A href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/168028/google_announces_chrome_os.html">Chrome OS</A>, for example, will be designed primarily to get you online faster.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pcworld.com/article/170222/9_webbased_office_productivity_suites.html">But why do you need a Google OS when you already have access to so many of Google's online tools--such as Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Reader--all of which are available from any browser on any operating system? <A href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/168277/office_2010_most_innovations_are_online.html">Microsoft Office 2010</A>, meanwhile, will let you access Web versions of Microsoft's famous suite of productivity applications--that is, it will be a Web-based suite that will compete directly with Google Docs.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pcworld.com/article/170222/9_webbased_office_productivity_suites.html">While we wait for the big guns to launch those products, a good number of services already allow you to put your own computer in the cloud for free.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1849C935-0B5C-4E66-8B4F-4C1E6FFB6826/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
