Jolicloud is a new operating system that’s being developed for use on netbooks specifically. The OS has been developed by Netvibes founder Tariq Krim. Jolicloud is a stripped down version of Linux, to “simplify netbook use”. The OS has a simple iPhone style interface that until now we’ve seen little of but, the developers have posted up an image of Jolicloud in action for our enjoyment.

The menu is similar to the iPhone interface and this lends to less clutter and a particularly stylish looking OS as you can see for yourself in the full sized image here and once Jolicloud is released of course. A private beta is rumoured before the OS goes to retail in the coming months and the Krim has said that they are hoping to include support for touchscreen too.
