LinuxPlanet takes a look at Jolicloud. ""We serve as a hybrid of an operating system and a Web site," [says founder and CEO Tariq Krim]. "The promise of Jolicloud is we want to dissociate the OS from the machine." If you buy one netbook and install Jolicloud, once you connect to the Jolicloud Web site, all your data and apps are backed up. If you purchase a new netbook and sign on to the Jolicloud site on that system, the server synchronizes your new device with all the apps and data from the first machine."
