The first version of xOS Webtop started development in December 2010. The first version became available on May 14, 2011 after 6 months of development. Although it took XProduct this long to develop the program it didn't work as planned so they posted their version of xOS 2.0 Desktop Edition online for use and quickly went back into development on xOS Webtop 3.0 (xOS 3.0 Development started before the release of xOS 2.0 as a beta testing version). Then XProduct decided to start from the ground up on the newest version, and not too long after they started working directly on xOS 3.0 after xOS 2.0 was released.
Development is steady and worked on almost daily. Bugs are fixed and fixes are uploaded as soon as possible. Everything is tested and secure. And if it doesn't work XProduct does not post it, as they did with xOS 2.0 Desktop Edition. A mobile phone and tablet version are expected this fall.[2] A developer page is available on their website for all those interested in development.[3]
