The idea of running server-side apps is nothing new, but it's not really a concept that is readily associated with everyday applications such as OpenOffice. There are various online apps available – like Google Docs – but Spoon.net gives you access to a wider range of familiar titles that can be run in the cloud.
Spoon.net differs from other similar services that allow you to work with apps online. Here, rather than working with apps that have been re-written or specially designed for cloud usage, you are able to choose from programs you know and love – everything from web browsers and image editors to media players and games.
The service is not entirely cloud-based; it is not possible to run all of these apps in your web browser. Instead you will need to download a copy of the Spoon.net console which you can grab free of charge from www.spoon.net.
To download the software you will need to provide your name and email address and choose a password. These serve as the details for your Spoon.net account which can be used to access the same apps on different machines.
