The first crop of Chrome OS-based netbooks is expected to arrive this month, though there has been no official confirmation. However, a little known France-based cloud OS startup named Jolicloud could very well steal a march on Google with a netbook running its eponymous cloud-centric operating system.
The company has confirmed that the first Jolicloud-powered computer is on course for a November, 2010 debut. Called Jolibook, the netbook features a dual core Atom N550 processor and 250GB hard drive storage, and comes preloaded with “Chromium, Facebook, Spotify, VLC, Skype, and a bunch of cool apps that are one click away.” With the launch just round the corner, Jolicloud won’t be able to hide the remaining details for too long. We will keep you posted.

all hype and no show for the jolibook. been to the site and they're holding off like wusses it seems. Also where are all the Linux updates on this portion of the site? Not every PC runs windows you know. some people dual boot or use straight up linux as their OS. I like maximum pc but would like to see more updates on linux so that it's not a biased website. there are tons of windows only, mac only, and linux only websites, very few give unbiased news on all of them together like I hoped this place would. as lame and biased as pc world is with their writers atleast they post linux articles more often.

since the Jolibook is out before the chrome os netbook,not to mention the jolicloud os has been out longer, I think it's the better of the two, especially after trying both out. joli is more or less the same as chrome os but without as much google spying on you and with a cleaner interface. jolicloud version 1.1 is a huge improvement over 1.0 and will make netbook users much happier with it's updates
