Just like on your main computer, with Jolicloud, you can enjoy using a combination of your favorite web apps, packaged for a full screen experience and other popular native apps.  Jolicloud is a Linux based system, which is designed to be installed onto existing netbooks without much hassle. You can even install it to your computer from inside Windows and keep it alongside your existing installation.

Jolicloud is different from traditional OS in that it was built for netbook users to leverage the cloud and it introduces new ideas to make your life easier.
