This is fairly crap, basically just Ubuntu Netbook Remix with an application included that has (yet another) twitter style feed feature and allows yo to create desktop shortcuts to webapps.
It would make more sense to make the jolicloud application itself the UI skin, and browse your available applications using those tabs rather than it being a way to browse them prior to install (if you follow), then create another method of browse-for-installation (e.g. opens a seperate menu a la Synaptic).
It's the entire architecture that's all fucked up though, it's basically just Ubuntu with an their own application thrown in. Also, Chrome OS is on the way now, Maemo is making significant improvements, etc. There's no way this thing is going to make any inroads now.
Chrome OS has yet to show anything nice about it. The lack of actual applications scares me. You are made to rely entirely on Googles apps. Unless they show a nice implementation of stuff like Adobe AIR applications and Skype i will not consider Chrome OS.
JoliCloud is basically Ubuntu but it's making Linux more accessible to the average user. The app library will allow them to easily install stuff. And in the end that's what it's about, otherwise everyone would be running ubuntu.
If you say so. I would bet everything I own that it will achieve absolutely no acceptance whatsoever outside of a tiny niche of users, until it fizzles out and development is discontinued, though.
it pisses me off so much
