Deskdoo is a cloud-based operating system that allows users to access applications and resources from any device without needing to install anything. It was founded in 2014 by Adam Adamczyk, Dawid Krawczykiewicz, and Robert Pasternak after an earlier startup failed in 2001 due to limitations of technology and experience. Deskdoo provides a unified interface for accessing tools like Google Apps, Adobe Photo Editor, and users' disk drives from any browser. It uses a freemium business model where basic services are free and premium applications and services can be paid for on a per-usage basis. The company aims to create a new ecosystem and revenue model for IT services hosted in the cloud.

We are entering the 3rd stage now
On entry stage we experimented many different
technologies and spent our time on searching the
Holy Grail.
Experimentation
At first all features are free to use for everybody.
Wide-spread Use
Before we opened to all we had invited friends by
sending them invitations in order to collect their
feelings.
Limited Use
It will take one year before users will be
convinced to use new technology
in day by day scenarios.
