From the makers of the gOS comes Cloud. According to the website, "Cloud is a browser operating system that combines beautiful design with sophisticated technologies to make the PC faster, safer, and easier."[Cloud]
While the idea of running an OS via a web browser is new, it is definitely intriguing. Since the OS is not available right now, the footprint isn't know. It would be assumed that it will be small and compact compared to current OS's.
One benefit seen on this is the seemingly virtual way the OS will be run. You have to have an OS booted to run a browser, right? So if you have an OS loaded, and then you run Cloud, you are effectively running a virtual machine OS.
