While netbook was the ultimate gadget, a lot of Cloud based OSes were being developed and I had done a review of JoliCloud OS here. The OS has moved quiet ahead since the review and has now hit version 1.0. This version is stable, has build-in touch screen support and a whole new interface which is much more intuitive along with better performance and wider device support.

Some of the other features include use of HTML 5 for application launchers and a greater range of pre-installed applications with include Gmail and Skype. The App Directory is also expanded to over 700 applications.

When is it available? Right now! Just head to jolicloud.com and get the free OS!

So Google Chrome OS has been out for some time and there have been numerous builds by developers all around the world. Dell came up with a 8GB version of Chrome OS, a developer slimmed it to a 300MB version and now we have a new version by Hexxeh. Since Chrome OS is out of the box, JoliCloud unveiled the alpha version of their cloud-based OS. JoliCloud is a similar concept to Chrome OS, but expends its functionality. It has an Application Directory that allows users to install apps with one-click and keep them updated. It also runs Adobe AIR to allow users to enjoy applications that run on the AIR platform. So it is more useable than Chrome OS as it allows users to run native applications that work with Linux.

The cloud was meant for backup of important files and soon it became the home of multimedia files and now we have providers like Backblaze that backup the computer completely and upload all files to the cloud.

AirSet not only takes your files and multimedia on the cloud, but also all your applications and your complete desktop! AirSet allows users to have their own Virtual computer on the cloud with their files and data and important applications like Mail client, Calendar application and RSS feed reader. You could also add your friends to your “Network places” and share files with them. But what I find most impressive with AirSet is that you can host your website or create an intranet on your virtual computer! Thats pretty cool.

You can sign up for AirSet for FREE and start using your virtual computer right away! Visit: AirSet.com

If you want an alternative, you could also checkout EyeOS at EyeOS.org

You can take a look at some screenshots of the AirSet interface and the Applications.
