Jolicloud, a New OS

Jolicloud is a linux based OS that was created by Tariq Krim in the summer of 2008. This revolutionary OS is made to be implemented for any and every computer, as well as their Jolibooks, to be based off the web. Jolicloud has a unique experience that offers the use of storing data on "the cloud" like with the new Chrome OS rather than using a slower OS like windows.

Interface:

The interface, has a beautiful layout, coming with big icons and an extensive library of applications to install and use. The apps are laid out in an elegant grid pattern, with bouncing, almost mac-like, icons as they open. The OS offers multiple pages to store the apps as well as a physical hard drive and linux apps, unlike the Chrome OS. The OS features a gray bar at the top of the screen that includes a universal search for apps and throughout the web as well. On the left side of the screen is five simple icons that can take you to the "App Center," home, social, files, and settings.

Features:

The Jolicloud OS brings a number of features with it that are not available in any similar OS on the market. The OS allows you to sync to "the cloud" and to access it from anywhere on their website so you always have your computer. "The Cloud" allows users to never loose their data if a computer crashes or something goes wrong with, it is always backed up. The cloud lets any user use their computer from anywhere, never having to worry about a file left at work. With everything sync, from all your apps to settings, Jolicloud allows you to get back to your stuff anywhere. 

Many apps in Jolicloud, like in Chrome OS, are web apps that are online but Jolicloud is also able to work offline, like in Windows, so you can work anywhere, giving you the best of both worlds. WIth everything always synced, you always have you apps and have a wider range of options for applications to install because the Jolicloud can have a normal sized hard drive unlike the Chrome operating system's cr-48 small hard drive. The "App Center," a app market for the OS, allows you to download apps that are for productivity, like the OpenOffice Suite, to a variety of games, like Plants vs. Zombies and Space Invaders. As wells as these amazing features, the Jolicloud OS supports automatic upgrades that happen seamlessly in the background and the OS also supports all your touch screen needs, being able to be installed on a touch device and work well with them.

Wrap Up:

The Jolicloud OS are one of the best operating systems on the market and if free to everyone who wants to give it ago, right here. The Jolicloud OS is defiantly a great OS to try out and give a go. Since I have been using the OS I have had no problems using it and has been really nice to use. The Jolicloud OS is defiantly an operating system that could develop into something great.
