Jolicloud, a new Linux-based OS out for a select group of netbooks, generated some buzz after screenshots of the interface were leaked a few months ago.
The OS looks great, and ties in to web services easier and better than probably any other OS out there. TechCrunch took it for a test spin:
Even when you run Jolicloud for the first time, everything is quite visual, making it easy to navigate even when you’re not familiar with all the buttons and processes. Compare it to switching from Windows Mobile 6 on your smartphone to the iPhone OS: it’s incredibly easy to get used to, and it’s just a better general user experience, particularly if you use a lot of web applications.
