Nigeria.MySpace is a new kind of operating system, where everything resides on a web browser. With Nigeria.MySpace, you will have your desktop, applications and files always with you, from your home, your college, your office or your neighbor’s house.

The idea behind Nigeria.MySpace is not to have an operating system inside another operating system, or a browser inside another browser. Nigeria.MySpace is about centering the work and entertainment to a single place. The software removes compatibility issues between applications and operating systems.

With Nigeria.MySpace, you can:

- Work from everywhere, even with a full featured modern computer, a mobile gadget or a completely obsolete pc.
- Share resources easily between different work centers of a same company, or work from different places and countries on the same projects.
- Enjoy the same applications with the same open formats, while avoiding the usual compatibility problems between Office suites or traditional operating systems.
