 Topic: A new Indian OS on cloud

A new Indian OS on cloud
 
For more details - Ref:
http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/internet/article2523455.ece?homepage=true
 
MICROS has been designed by a second-year engineering student
 
A system crash one year ago forced Deepak John, a second-year engineering
student, to devise a portable operating system on cloud, which can solve
many problems of travelling professionals, who seek access to secure
computers.
 
The MICROS (Mobile In-Curred Revolutionised Operating System), which has won
laurels in nationwide tech fests, boots from a pen drive, to the RAM which
then dynamically expands. “The size is limited to 100MB — that makes the
distribution of the package easier,” says Deepak, studying in the *Loyola-ICAM
College of Engineering and Technology (LICET).* He calls it a live OS that
does not require installation but allows you to access the files stored in
the system and perform various file management functions. “This is the best
time to access the benefits of cloud, and also have an operating system of
your own,” he says.
 
Multitasking is enabled by the Windows Pre-installation Environment (PE).
Open Office is integrated into the system. Users can also access the web and
run various Windows applications on MICROS. An application Cloud Command
Control designed for MICROS accesses the cloud through a simple interface
and a secure login.
 
As the user selects the drive to boot from the list of available storage
devices, the rest is done automatically, in about 10 seconds. “MICROS helps
people recover and repair, but it can also be used as a standard OS. It also
maintains privacy as the OS gets deleted once switched off and the entire OS
gets booted from a pen drive to a RAM hard disk,” says Deepak.
 
This means that once the system is shut down, the contents in the RAM get
permanently deleted. “This ensures that the browsing history, cookies, and
various other temporary files that contain vital information regarding your
privacy details are deleted. Though the settings stored by various
applications will also be erased, the virus, malware or spyware that may
have infected MICROS will get deleted as well. ,” says Deepak.
 
Though it is just 90MB, it is stored in the fastest storage drive in the
system and so is capable of running simultaneously many applications,
including multimedia, and word processing.
 
In enhanced packages, MICROS will soon be upgraded to include
motion-controlled gestures to control the cursor on screen, says Deepak.
 
The OS has been made into an open source software and abides by the
licensing terms of Microsoft Corporation using the open source edition of
Windows PE.
 
“It is simply a Plug and Play operating system, and combines the best of
proprietary and free software, using the cloud to store data. This is what
we need now, to ensure comfort of use, affordability and stability,” says
the young developer.

Dear All,
 
IBM India is working on a 'Digital Consumer Survey' trying to capture the
media/content consumption behaviour of various segments. This is a part of
the Global Digital Consumer Survey & will be specifically used to create
the India PoV around same.
 
Media & Entertainment Industry in India is experiencing the classic 'digital
divide' with almost all the mediums
likely to coexist across the segments. It is of particular interest to see
how the behavioral & cultural aspect of our
country defines this shift e.g. while Japan could easily be termed as one of
most 'gadget savvy connected' nation, but Japanese people still prefer to
get their daily dose of news information from traditional print newspaper
only.
 
Responding to this survey should ideally not take more than 5 mins of your
time and will be an invaluable contribution to this engagement. All
responses will remain anonymous.
 
Kindly access the survey at this link :
 
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3Z76LXD
 
Please note that last date for responding to this survey is 14 Oct 2011.
 
Regards
shankar
