gOS Cloud: A brower-based Operating System for Netbooks

Good OS aka gOS was an instant hit when it launched back in 2007. The Same Good OS can now be accessed via the browser and is called the gOS Cloud.

The OS features a dock that looks like the Mac OS X dock and a Linux kernel that boots in seconds. Strangely the browser looks similar to Google’s Chrome Browser although there is no official connection between the two companies.

There are number of applications on the dock for quick access, like Skype, YouTube, Google Docs, etc,.

Unlike the standalone gOS, the gOS Cloud is not meant to replace the Windows Operating System altogether, but to live along side it. There is an option to fire up to Windows Operating System right from the dock.

The Operating System is primarily meant for Netbooks, considering the fact that the Netbooks have a low-end configuration. The gOS is very useful for checking emails, and do necessary things on the Internet without waiting for the Operating System to Boot.

Good OS demonstrated the Operating System at Netbook World Summit in Paris yesterday. The company says the touch-screen Netbooks running the Cloud OS along with Windows will be released next month at CES show.
