Abstract
A method includes transforming a mode of a computer from an operating system mode to a kiosk mode, wherein the kiosk mode provides a user interface for one web application, and wherein the kiosk mode prevents access to any other application or the operating system of the computer. The computer automatically updates the web application via a network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode, and automatically updates an operating system of the computer via the network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode. The computer automatically re-launches the web application in response to detecting an interrupted status of the web application while the computer is operating in kiosk mode.
