gOS
and Everex Introduce MyMiniPC with MySpace Apps

Everex
MyMiniPC and gOS Space 2.9 introduce Linux to the 100,000,000 MySpace
Users

EMERYVILLE,
California -- April 7, 2008 -- Good OS (gOS) and Everex today
introduced the limited edition MyMiniPC* running gOS Space 2.9, a
special version of gOS Linux made for MySpace users, featuring brand
new MySpace Apps just weeks after the MySpace API launch. MyMiniPC
targets MySpace users with a glossy white case, 3D desktop, and a
media center dock stacked with MySpace and Web 2.0 folders for News,
Photos, Videos, Music, TV and Movies, and more. At one and half
inches tall and weighing two pounds, the $499 MyMiniPC is the most
compact and premium gOS desktop ever, aimed at the 100,000,000
MySpace users.

"The MySpace
Developer Platform is all about embracing developers and empowering
them to create new and exciting ways for friends to connect on
MySpace and share their experiences with one another," said
Chuck Rosendahl, the Managing Director of MySpace San Francisco. "The
MyMiniPC is the perfect appliance for MySpace users and those whose
activities are consistently tied to the web and less to the desktop.
It is an ideal solution for getting access quickly to the MySpace
apps that matter most to our users."

The MyMiniPC with
gOS Space dock shows off some of the newest MySpace Apps: "Super
Mood," "Super Graffiti," "Super Quotes," and
"Current Time." With Super Mood, users add super sized
emoticons and personal updates to their MySpace profiles; with Super
Graffiti, users draw pictures on their friends' MySpace profiles;
with Super Quotes, users select fun quotes to display on their
profiles; and with Current Time, users add digital clocks to their
pages that display their local times in different colors. These
MySpace apps can be found at http://www.thinkgos.com/apps.gOS with MySpace Apps

In addition to
MySpace Apps, the gOS Space dock introduces expandable icons:
"MySpace,""News," "Photos," "Videos," "Music,"
"TV and Movies," "Work," and "Fun." Clicking the
MySpace icon expands to shortcuts for the entire MySpace navigation
bar, while other icons pop open the most popular websites for
content.  For example, clicking "TV and Movies" reveals Hulu,
NBC, CBS, and other sites where users can watch full-length TV
episodes from popular shows such as "Family Guy," "The
Simpsons," and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

Space
combines an awesome user interface with social networking to take
Linux mainstream yet again, this time with MySpace instead of
Wal-Mart," said Jim Zemlin, President of the Linux Foundation. "To
me, gOS Space can be the face of Linux for the MySpace generation."

Like MySpace's
founder and first friend, "Tom," gOS Space's founder, "Dave,"
is your first friend on the desktop. Dave's friendly face, labeled
"Ask Dave", is a shortcut to Dave's MySpace profile where
users can ask about MyMiniPC, gOS Space, and its included MySpace
Apps, as well as add Dave as a friend.

"MyMiniPC"
is the perfect PC for my 'MySpace' generation," said Dave
Liu, gOS's CEO.  "It's the ultimate media center, without a TV
tuner or even a TV. Inside is gOS Space, Linux beautifully designed
for the 100,000,000 MySpace users who consume the majority of their
media online."

With Everex's
award winning design, MyMiniPC features a glossy white case,
high-performance processor, DVD recorder, HD audio and digital video
output. Read below for additional hardware information. To learn more
