OnLive Desktop Review

OnLive Desktop is a free app for iOS and Android devices. It creates a virtual Windows 7 looking desktop. Of course it can't compare to the installed Windows OS, but this app can be a great close second for iOS and Android users.

Overall, I say this is a great program, but it doesn't seem we'll developed yet, and it could be a whole lot easier. Out of five stars, I give this app a 4.5. Below, I went over the main features.

With this app, you have access to Office 2010..and you don't have to pay!

This doesn't include all the Office programs though. Just the big three- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

















That last photo shows how the desktop looks like.
Here's the start menu:



In fact, even MS Paint and the saving screen looks just like on the computer:







The main turn off here is that you can't freely surf the web in this app- you are limited to OnLive's site:







One other thing..the customizations you made on the virtual desktop will not be saved when you close out..

I would recommend this app to anyone who needs to compose a document using Office, but do not want to pay for the program. As this app moves forward, I expect to see more Office programs, ability to save your customizations, and possibly being able to surf the web freely.
