I know a handful of people who suffer from netbook-buyer's remorse: they bought one of the inexpensive little machines, then stuck it in a closet when they discovered how sluggishly it ran Windows. If you're in the same boat, you might be able to give that system a new lease on life. Jolicloud is a free, Linux-powered operating system designed specifically for netbooks. It's fast (way faster than Windows), easy to use, and better optimized for cloud computing. The OS offers just the basics, without the clutter. It comes with about a dozen apps already installed (Facebook, Dropbox, Gmail, Google Docs, etc.), but you can browse a library of hundreds more--all of which are free to download. I think it's safe to say that virtually everything you can do with Windows, you can do with Jolicloud
