As Bucky put it "You cannot change anything by fighting the existing reality, you need to create a new model [or version of) that makes the existing one obsolete," not the exact quote but you all get the idea.
From personal computers to personal cloud, and yes..... it does need its own OS we've outlive the ones we've been using.

Unfortunately, while those may be connotations the term is intended to inspire, 'the cloud' is simply a marketing term to invite the gullible to store all their 'personal data' on the service provider's Internet-accessible data storage facilities, which may even be distributed to some extent, but not in the above sense. Ask "Who does the cloud belong to? Who controls it?" If the answer is "Google", "Microsoft", or "IBM", etc. then it's not safe. I'd wait until the answer is "No-one/everyone!" The cloud as it is, is in fact unsuited for personal data management since most layers & functions are not controlled by the individual. More work needs to be done on this and on cloud portability.
