Is the operating system is about just simulating UI, file explorer, console with CD, and/or a pixel perfect game?

The real deal will be remote desktop inside the web browser. I shall be able to connect my PC (remote login) from anywhere in the world and use it's GUI.

Well, for a fun project a GUI is quite enough and I bet it took him more than just a single day to do it. The title of this submission surly is a bit too enthusiastic...

But don't complain - it's still a funny thing to look at, right? :)

agreed, he took more than a day!

HN front page has seen many such implementations on JS to simulate OS in browser. For last one year people are pushing the capabilities of Web-browsers by demonstrating such examples. But now this is the time I expect remote-desktops should come (without any plugin/java support).

VLC has a Java interface and teamviewer has a portable version, not to mention 'ssh -X'.
