Jolicloud Pre-beta Boot on Samsung N140

Just spent about half an hour going through Jolicloud pre-beta but not seeing much new on the surface. Mostly a few interface tweaks. There's GMA 500 support of course, but I don't have any Poulsbo netbooks to test out.

You started the timer at the BIOS not from the actual OS booting. But yeah, maybe it's just optimized for certain netbook models like the EeePC Range.

looks like this wasn't the real pre-beta - read jolicloud's comment below:

Chrome OS is 100% cloud based, so if you don't have an Internet connection you can't use the OS.

And what for an operating system?

@netbooked why would somebody buy a "net"book(as in internet) without an internet connection?

@chris8sirhc lol, boot time is unnecessary in linux, because you don't need to reboot anyhow!

Hi,

This wasn't the final Pre-Beta!

If you want to participate, we have a testers program. You can contact us at feedback (at) jolicloud (dot) com.

Be aware the main purpose of this program is to validate the GMA 500 support.

Thank you for your interest :)

XP SP3 on most netbooks can boot at about 40sec... So this isn't too exciting at all.

Isn't jolicloud based on the cloud as the upcoming Chrome OS? And I mean...Chrome OS only needed 7 seconds. In that case...fail
