G.ho.st is a Virtual PC that is accessible wherever you have access to the internet. You can walk into an internet cafe and, within minutes, have your own VPC, with your settings, bookmarks, files etc up and running the way you left it. While you may not have much use for it on your own PC, it gives you the ability to easily access a familiar, personal environment from any other PC. Store your document on G.ho.st and you can be sure to access it almost anywhere. For example, it is perfect for students who may not own their own PCs - they can access the same virtual PC at campus, their friends', and the internet cafe down the street. To normal users, the value of the PC lies in the Personal part. G.ho.st gives you the ability to take that part with you everywhere.

Don't you think these guys are taking it too far? I mean, if i wanted to browse a site, launch a calculator, view the time, why would I take the extra trouble/effort of launching it on a fake OS GUI. I just don't get it. Simply, this is a case of putting too much effort on "style" while neglecting the "substance". But why?
