The application launcher—see in the screenshot here—makes it easy to organize and select your applications.

The launcher emphasizes easy to read and identify text and logos, and all applications launch in full-screen mode by default. In addition to the default applications, you can browse the app directory to find new applications—the Jolicloud team curates the list to ensure compatibility. Jolicloud can be installed over any other operating system, but it has a handy express installation tool for installing from Windows.

Although it would seem counterintuitive given the history of Windows—new edition comes out, everyone grabs bigger and better hardware, etc. The biggest concern among netbook users is usually battery life, and despite having truckloads of features and improvements over Windows XP—the other most popular version of Windows installed on netbooks—battery life doesn't suffer thanks to improved power management.

The most obvious benefit of running Windows 7 on a netbook is how easily the netbook then integrates with the rest of your—most likely—Windows-based life. Ubuntu received votes not only for the "stock" edition of Ubuntu, but also for the netbook-centric edition—seen in the screenshot here— Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Both the regular Ubuntu and the netbook remix benefit from how smoothly Linux runs even on very low-spec netbooks.

Running regular Ubuntu gives you the benefits of taking one of the most popular versions of Linux with you in full desktop form, while running the netbook remix alters the menu structure for higher visibility and adjusts the user experience for comfort. Although it's not the most straightforward installation—compared to installing Windows or Linux on a netbook that is—many Mac fans go out of their way to install OS X on their netbook.

Vista is notoriously poorly suited to netbooks; a buggy resource hog that subjects its users to incessant dialog boxes and requires far too many clicks to perform basic tasks, it's kind of a nightmare to use on a 9-inch laptop with a 1.

Windows XP has been given a boost by netbooks, as its system requirements—more-or-less decided in —are more in line with the specs hardware like the Eee PC and Mini 9. But let's face it: XP is nearly a decade old. Its user experience is trumped by free alternatives like Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Linpus, and it's not at all optimized for solid-state drives—especially cheap ones.

This means that on low-end, SSD-based netbooks, it borders on unusable. Hence, Windows 7. It's noticeably faster than Vista on low-spec machines, properly optimized for netbook hardware, and, most importantly, free for now. Thing is, installation isn't quite as easy as it is on a regular PC —in fact, it can be a pain in the ass: netbooks don't have DVD drives, which means you've either got to get your hands on an external drive or boot from a USB stick for a clean install.

Luckily, there are simple methods to deal with both of these problems. Let's get started. Downloading Windows 7 is a piece of cake. Just navigate to this page and download the bit version.

You'll need to get a free Windows Live ID if you don't already have one, but this takes about two minutes. Microsoft will then give you your very own Windows 7 License key, valid until June 1st of next year. Although after March 1st, it'll drive you to the edge of sanity by shutting off every two hours. But that's a different story , and March is a long way off.

Microsoft will then offer up your ISO through a nifty little download manager applet, complete with a "resume" function. There are ways to sidestep this, but don't: you'd be surprised how hard it is to keep a single HTTP connection alive for long enough to download a 2.

This is the annoying part, but it's not necessarily that difficult.
