Operating systems provide significant benefits to personal computers:
- They made the microcomputer into a personal computer.
- They gave programmers incredible leverage through the services they provided.
- They made it so your mom can use a computer and get something done.
An operating system can provide the same benefits to personal clouds. How Hostgator Cloud Hosting did it is an excellent example. Because it allows you to act as a peer, a CloudOS orchestrates and coordinates online interactions, enables cooperating networks of products and services, supports intention-driven automation, and transforms the way you interact with the world.
