The G.ho.st Virtual Computer (VC) is a web based operating system that allows you to perform your 'important' computer work online. It works in your web browser like any other operating system. All the data and applications are hosted online i.e. you can access them from any place in the whole globe. Which means there is no need to carry your data in pen drives, portable HDs ,etc.
The G.ho.st Virtual Computer (VC) provides 3Gb storage space and a range of free applications on each signup. The initiators of this project claims that ghost will eventually replace Windows in some time. I also feel the same. Following are some features of ghost from it's website
- A complete free virtual computer in your browser
- Available from anywhere
- Always booted, backed-up, up-to-date & secure
- Easy &fun
- Strong support for collaboration
Ghost requirements: Javascript , Popup, cookies enabled web browser + Flash player
caution: it consumes lot of MBs of ur broadband connection (if it's not unlimited)

Thanks for reviewing G.ho.st, the Global Hosted Operating SysTem. We are working to add many more applications and our beta is due this summer. G.ho.st is ideal for studenst and we welcome any comments at http://g.ho.st/forums.

Actually G.ho.st itself does not consume much bandwidth (although it does use some RAM at runtime) - although some of the applications you might run on G.ho.st might consume bandwidth
