Cloud OS is Finally Out with a Quick Startup, But…

Steve Ballmer will talk about it, Google will say how anticipation is creeping in and Good OS has finally launched it with minimum of fuss. I am talking about their release of a cloud-based version of the OS, simply named Cloud!

  • Cloud runs a hybrid browser/linux kernel, offering quick startups and minimal lag.
  • Cloud launches within a few seconds
  • provides access to the internet
  • runs client apps (like Skype), as well as a variety of web apps, including a dock full of them from Google.
  • In addition, Cloud is compatible with flash video and mp3s, giving users options for multimedia use within the OS.

But…

If you are really impressed by this then I am sorry. Here is the worst news for you. Cloud is not meant to be a standalone solution. Instead, it will be packaged in netbooks alongside Windows XP. I mean what the hell. Is it some kind of a joke that I will need a bugging Windows again to use such a sophisticated technology! What do you mean its not stand alone! Give it a wheel chair instead.
