Grosse Ankuendigung bei Jolicloud, denn in dieser Woche wird die Version 1.0 ausgeliefert. Die groesste Neuerung ist dabei sicherlich der HTML5-Launcher und die Verabschiedung vom altbackenen Ubuntu Netbook Remix-Frontend. Nachdem mein Freund Tariq Krim mir bereits im Januar diese ueberarbeitete Version zum ersten Mal zeigte, so freuen ich mich nun darauf, Jolicloud 1.0 auch persoenlich einsetzen zu koennen. Einen Schwung der Updates findet ihr nach dem Break, ausgeliefert wird 1.0 zuerst an die sogenannten „Founding Members“, die bereits seit der ersten Alpha dabei sind. Ich verspreche euch aber, dass wir umgehend ein Video hochschiessen, sobald wir unser Update bekommen.
Update: Jolicloud 1.0 steht zum oeffentlichen Download bereit! Google Chrome User koennen uebrigens Jolicloud auch im Browser ausprobieren und zwar unter http://my.jolicloud.com. Probiert es einfach mal aus, es kann ohne Probleme parallel zu Windows installiert werden. Wie sich Jolicloud auf einem aktuellen Netbook verhaelt, seht ihr u.a. in unserem ausfuehrlichen Testbericht.
