I was debating on what personal laptop to get and since I was traveling so much my requirements were small, portable and light. The Netbooks were the perfect answer but I thought they all ran on Linux and I had not yet gone that geek (yet).

During Web 2.0 Expo Europe I was sitting in the greenroom with ex-Netvibes CEO Tariq Krim before his keynote. I complimented his perfectly small, lightweight, inexpensive laptop is laptop which had this great-looking desktop. It was a version of his new project, Jolicloud, a new linux-based OS that was clean, simple and made for Netbooks.

Fab-u-lous.

Here’s a sneak peak at what the interface looks like. More to come and larger images can be seen on the Jolicloud Flickr page.

For those of you who are interested in hearing Tariq speak about entrepreneurship, watch this 10-min video clip of his Web 2.0 Expo Europe keynote.
