The OS world can be a bit daunting and confusing.\u00a0Most people<\/a> use Windows because it’s the only OS they know, but there are alternatives like Mac OSx or Linux that work better and are easier to use. The problem is people don’t know about them.<\/p>\n

Another one of these great alternatives is\u00a0Jolicloud<\/a>, an OS for netbooks. Jolicloud was created by my friend Tariq Krim<\/a>, who is also the founder of Netvibes<\/a>. Jolicloud is free, and because it’s Linux-based there’s no need for an antivirus! It’s a social OS with more than 300 free open source applications, created and shared by the Jolicloud community<\/a>. All your data gets stored in the cloud<\/a> so you can access it from any computer connected to the Internet. The very best thing about this OS is its speed; does your netbook draaaag trying to run Windows? Try Jolicloud and watch it fly!<\/p>\n

In fact, it works so well in netbooks that the British IB School in Costa del Sol, Spain, installed Jolicloud in the 400 EEEpcs they bought for their students. Initially, the kids were confused with the new enviroment, but as soon as they learned to use it, they realized that it was easier, better and more versatile than Windows in most aspects.<\/p>\n

I’m really happy for Tariq, and I hope Jolicloud continues to grow!<\/p>\n
