Jolicloud 1.0 Released for Windows and Bootable USB
Cloud-based open source netbook OS gets a 1.0 release.
Cloud-based netbook OS Jolicloud 1.0 was released yesterday, allowing users to install the OS alongside Windows or as a standalone OS via USB key. The project was started by Netvibes founder Tariq Krim.
Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu, but is designed with netbooks in mind. This means that many of the programs deployed within Jolicloud are actually Web apps. It's possible to store files locally, but cloud backup is offered as well.
The user interface for Jolicloud 1.0 was built on HTML5 it features a customizable launcher and a social stream, which features community updates, app recommendations and active software updates. The OS also comes preloaded with Gmail, Skype, Twitter and Firefox.
Thanks to cloud support, applications can be modified and the application launcher can be managed from any HTML5-capable browser. Local and cloud-based files are also managed via the same file system.
Currently, Jolicloud is compatible with netbooks from all major manufacturers. For a full compatibility list, visit wiki.jolicloud.com/netbook-compatibility. Jolicloud is available now at http://www.jolicloud.com/download#jolicloud-express.
