Five Best Netbook Operating Systems
,----[ Quote ]
| Jolicloud is the most distinctly netbook-
| oriented operating system in this Hive
| Five. It's not just pretty good on a
| netbookâit was actually designed from the
| ground up to be a netbook operating system,
| so it's a great fit. (For the curious, it's
| a combination of Debian and Fedora Linux
| with WINE mixed in to support Windows-only
| apps.) Jolicloud has been tweaked and tuned
| to make it shine even on systems with low
| resources and small displays. The emphasis
| is not on a traditional computing
| experience but on harnessing web-based
| applications and storage services so that
| much of the heavy lifting and deep-storage
| of the netbook is transferred from the
| netbook to more powerful and larger
| servers. The application launcherâsee in
| the screenshot hereâmakes it easy to
| organize and select your applications. The
| launcher emphasizes easy to read and
| identify text and logos, and all
| applications launch in full-screen mode by
| default. In addition to the default
| applications, you can browse the app
| directory to find new applicationsâthe
| Jolicloud team curates the list to ensure
| compatibility.

ARM: our netbooks will fly with or without Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| ARM chief executive Warren East has claimed
| that netbooks could swallow 90% of the PC
| market, in an exclusive interview with PC Pro.
|
| The British chip design firm, which is the
| biggest rival to Intel's dominant Atom
| processors in the netbook space, claims the
| low-budget laptops could transform the PC
| market. And East says the chip firm will
| succeed "with our without" Windows support for
| its processors.

ARM Seen as a Threat to Intel on the Mobile Front
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the current developments and the latest
| advancements in x86 chips power efficiency,
| analysts seem to think that, even though Intel
| currently controls the netbook market with its
| new Atom chips, this dominance may be short
| lived. ABI Research suggests that the ARM
| architecture may make a strong incursion into
| this segment, likely taking away most of the
| mobile market share from Intel's units.
