I’ve been watching this with interest, however I’m still sticking to Windows 7 on my netbook. Jolicloud is about to enter into Pre-Beta and we are dropping the invitations. We consider the product and its installation stable and simple enough for a broader release.At Jolicloud, we believe people should be able to switch operating system on their netbooks. Like the adoption of Firefox made the web 2.0 possible, enabling users to switch OS will accelerate the growth and benefits of open cloud computing

There certainly has been a lot of discussion about Windows 7 in the last few weeks. A lot of folks want to know when they can get their hands on the official RC, when we are going to RTM, and what I had for breakfast.

Having tried an HP Touchsmart PC I’m convinced that this type of interface is the way of the future. It’s such a natural way to flick through pictures, music, vidoes etc. I see Asus have a touch PC and HP have also added a touch tablet. I’m seriously considering buying one to replace the TV in my kitchen. Any readers using a Touchsmart PC daily?
