This feels like it has potential. Can someone give me a specific use-case where this should shine?

The major worry I have is that it will turn out like the Citrix system at my university. It's hard to give all the reasons why Citrix is annoying, but the top three are: 1. speed (horbito seems fast though), 2. awkward feeling of two operating systems, 3. pesky, unanticipated clunkiness when saving and retrieving data.

I'm not knocking this, just curious.

Don't think about horbito like an OS (yet), think about it like Google Drive on steroids.

Right now horbito is a great solution for teams, being able to work online with a much better user experience than old cloud (introducing windows and multitasking inside a website) and collaborating on real time while always being up to date on everything that's happening on your team thanks to Cosmos.

I really think Cosmos is a big revolution for teams because it's a well executed Yammer/Facebook for work due to being perfectly integrated with your workflow, you needn't stop work to report what your doing, as soon as you save you can share and post all the changes with your coworkers.

That makes sense. I guess I don't work enough in teams to have instantly seen the value. It's weird, actually, I see a lot of references to collaboration, either indirectly while reading articles, or directly on videos promoting collaboration tools. But in reality I don't collaborate very often other than via Slack. I wonder if it's just me or if collaboration is portrayed/perceived in an unrealistic way.
