That is the exact reason that major companies like HP, Acer and Lenovo are all going gaga on netbooks and all developers are going gaga on developing an OS for netbooks.
Now, we all know that the best OS, which can be scalably deployed on any architecture and platform is Linux, so there it is. Their correct first choice. Thanks to these developments, now we have an array of netbook OS, all Linux based and all needing apps and softwares of their own. Jolicloud is a netbook OS with two important ideologies :

Free linux based operating systems reeally appeal to me. Not having to pay for an operating system will automatically reduce the purchasing cost of a netbook even further, making the barrier to entry so much lower.
