Already have a netbook? If yes, what is the operating system? Linux? Windows XP? Or Windows Vista? Those Operating systems are in fact not designed for netbook or nettop PC. This is like entering Porsche engine to a Toyota Avanza. It may can, but is not optimal.
A low-energetic system will overwhelmed when dealing with Windows, even if its have a large memory and hard disk capacity. Linux can indeed overcome the problem of hard drive capacity seizure, but for most people Linux is still feels not friendly enough.
One of the solutions that are fathommed by a number of vendors is to create an operating system that specially designed for netbook and nettop. For examples Good OS product “Cloud”. Cloud OS hardware demands is low: x86 processor, 128MB RAM, 35MB storage space. This lightweight and fast-booting Operating system as much as possible take advantage of Internet-based applications.
Cloud OS has been introduced at the CES event in the U.S. in early 2009. Besides Cloud OS, there also another candidate named Jolicloud, the details are not yet available.
Good OS, a company based in California which famous for its gOS, return to announces the launch of a new operating system in the name of Cloud Netbook World Summit in Paris.
Unlike most quick-start software that allows users to check email or play music soon after turning the computer on, Good OS create a ‘wrapper’ that allows to run almost all the main rich-client applications from within the browser. Cloud is a browser-based operating system, provide to users a browser than a desktop.
At first impression, the browser is very similar to Google Chrome, although it does not have any official relationship between Google and gOS. Then there is a Dock that has a similarity with the OSX Dock at the bottom of the browser, which provides quick access to a number of applications such as meebo, Youtube and several popular applications from Google. A quite interesting is that the user can boot to Windows directly from the Dock.
Required computer specifications to run the operating system is quite small (according to the official website), only need 128 MB Ram and storage space about 35 MB. With only that small space would make Cloud operating system a strong candidate to be used in NetBook system or run in USB.
