» There are a surprising number of webtops out there on the Internet, so surprising that it makes you wonder what all the fuss is about. After all, a webtop is simply a web page that acts like a computer operating system. The webtop screen looks a lot like your computer desktop, offering access to email, calendaring, word processing, instant messaging and so on - some even come with their own web browser (a browser within a browser - what's the point of that?).

As to why you might want one, there could be any number of reasons: students in a classroom might find having a webtop a convenient way to communicate with teachers, keep up with scheduled events, or a place to store files. Rather than outfitting each computer in the classroom with all the necessary software for these tasks, the teacher can just have the students create a webtop, which they can then sign on to and do their work.
