I haven't played with the new versions as I am very happy with Karmic Netbook Remix 9.10, but if those screenshots are recent, they are still using the Netbook Launcher from Ubuntu 9.04, which sucked when compared to 9.10's. ]]>Dec 11th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/
Yeah, I think they're using Jaunty (9.04) as well. I tried Jolicloud out and found Jaunty UNR to be a more complete OS, I'm also trying Moblin 2.1 and am liking the the UI, overall its VERY fast, the biggest problem is that wireless doesn't work out of the gate (pretty big problem with a NETbook).]]>Dec 11th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/
That is what I thought too. But that's the great thing about Linux. You can take that source code, modify it as you wish, and redistribute.]]>Dec 11th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/ Wormux

The lady in this video is EXTREMELY inaccurate when comparing ALPHA and BETA. I've been using Alpha for a few months, and it looks almost exactly the same. The screen that she says is what Alpha looks like, is just a special Jolicloud App called "Getting Started" where you manage your apps on your netbook. For example, when she says "It's missing Twitter" she could easy enable it by going into that "Getting Started" app and performing a one-click install.

The normal interface of Alpha looks 99% the same as the interface of BETA from what I can tell.]]>Dec 11th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Because we like to move forward in life and if they are willing to waste\spend time on another way to move forward whether it works or not so be it.

As for the comments about the OS being cloud based you can run software just like a normal laptop, OpenOffice and the like. I believe it's Ubuntu under the hood so you have a pretty big library of software there.

If you have a netbook I'd recommend you checking this out.]]>Dec 11th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/
I do not doubt that Jolicloud might be a great thing, it's only that so far it does not look any different from Ubuntu Netbook Remix. To get the cloud apps one would only have to install Prism and use it to "create" the apps, right?

It might also mean that they have replaced UbuntuOne as the cloud backup system of choice for one that they developed themselves... So my point is, if this is Ubuntu NBR, why should the user switch to Jolicloud? What's the advantage here?]]>Dec 11th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/Dec 11th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/jolicloud-pre-beta-now-available-to-download-walkthrough-now-av/What is the fuss?
