What is a cloud based operating system? A cloud operating system in its simplest terms is a way to access documents and data that represents a standard operating system by letting you access your files from any high speed computer and standard browser (Firefox, IE 7 and Google Chrome).

Good OS released their newest iteration of gOS earlier this month, version 3.1 Gadgets. gOS is based on Ubuntu and as such can be a very powerful release.

The biggest change from other Cloud OS’s that I have seen is that Cloudo is simply beautiful. The graphical appeal is not only there it makes me want to ditch Windows 7, no questions asked.

In the past couple of weeks during my testing of gOS I have come to a realization. Many software developers don’t use their own products.

This week they released their 3rd iteration of the gOS and announced at CES a new cloud operating system for Netbooks.
