You still need an Operating System with a browser to access what would be more accurately described as an AJAX powered Desktop (actually that's what the website says). Which still seems like a bad idea! JavaScript is not known to be exceptionally fast... and we already have 5 different Desktops to choose from (OS X, GNOME, KDE, Solaris, various flavours of Windows).
