Users can store documents in the cloud and open them locally in Microsoft Office®

RAMALLAH, PALESTINE; MODI’IN, ISRAEL. Feb 23, 2009. The G.ho.st Virtual Computer (VC) today introduced a revolutionary patent-pending feature allowing users to have their desktop and file storage in the cloud and still take advantage of their favorite local applications like Microsoft Office.

“Up to now users had to choose between the advantages of the Virtual Computer – available everywhere, no admin, free of charge – versus the familiarity of Microsoft Office, said CEO, Zvi Schreiber, “now, the two work together perfectly at the click of a button”.

The G.ho.st Virtual Computer Web OS provides a personal desktop, applications and 5GB of files storage, called the G.ho.st Drive, all inside a web page at http://g.ho.st. Now, any document of type .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx which is uploaded to the G.ho.st Drive or created in the G.ho.st Drive can be edited directly in Microsoft Office, if available on the local computer, by simply pressing “Edit in MS Office”. When MS Office is not available, users always have the Zoho® office suite available within their G.ho.st Virtual Computer.

This latest G.ho.st release also includes faster performance, a media library, importing of bookmarks and tagging.

About G.ho.st®
G.ho.st® offers every person in the world a free Virtual Computer (VC). G.ho.st is simply pronounced “ghost”, an acronym of Global hosted operating system but is written G.ho.st with two dots because a URL (web address) must have dots! The G.ho.st Virtual Computer includes almost everything you would have in a physical computer – a desktop, file storage (like a disk drive) and applications (apps).  

But unlike a physical computer, your Virtual Computer (VC) is “hosted” in a professional data center somewhere in the Internet “cloud” and is accessible as a web page in any browser. You can run the entire G.ho.st VC from any Internet browser without the need to install any software or “sync” files. Just enter your username and password, and continue using your VC from exactly the state you last left it in. 

G.ho.st® is revolutionizing personal computing by providing you with a personal computing environment which is free of charge and which is accessible from any device – mobile or desktop – without the need for install or sync. G.ho.st® frees you from being tied to any one device – you can change computer or use shared computers as often as you like.
