[...] What they are attempting to do is to match Chrome OS’ boot time. This video shows off a 13 second boot time and they are still trying to cut it down (probably). But this is still better than the current Chrome OS. And given the fact that Jolicloud has nothing even close to Google’s huge support team, it is a pretty respectable achievement for the project. Let’s hope they make a nice operating system in the interim so that we something to turn to in case Google suddenly decides that it owns you(r data) in the near fututre. [read] [...]

That O!Play you gave away would boot in 2.5 seconds; with a 400Mhz processor.
All of those people have a ways to go in the “quick boot, bragging rights” race.

13 second boot to login screen! Not to desktop.. So that still means about 35-40 seconds to desktop at best.. (exluding the time to type your login credentials..)

I too have been running Jolicloud for about a month now and I am loving it. It is my first big step into Linux and it works for me. I just hope it will be around for a long time and not drift away.

Sweet. I am really loving the simplicity of Jolicloud. My intro to Linux was Freespire and I have continued on the user friendly path since then. Jolicloud is a promising look of the future. IMHO
