My first install of Windows 8 and test was always going to be on that futuristic and rare tablet the Joojoo . Contrary to what you read in Apple Cult Weekly , the Fusion Garage Joojoo got many things frighteningly right , it was just way ahead of the curve , and still is , for the Joojoo is a cloud tablet , and consumers are still a couple of years away from accepting the cloud ..not to mention developers presently chained to iTunes ....
The Joojoo is the worlds first tablet , predating the iPad , and packing open hardware that let you mess with it from the get go , for a year now I and others have used Windows 7 Ultimate quite nicely ,as you can see from many videos I have made , today it is a collectors item and that is according to Endgadget !
With the arrival of the world`s first touch and cloud based full OS : Windows 8 , all the problems that the Joojoo launched with have turned into boons for those brave enough to have gotten hold of one , the msata storage , was unheard of when the Joojoo launched , an upgradeable ssd the size of a postage stamp, the desktop nVidia Ion easily paired with 3gb of DDR3 and the X86 ( oh how the blogs laughed) based Atom N270 , and not least the massive 12.1 inch 1366 by 768 res multitouch display . All of these design choices made by 14 people at Fusion Garage now allow a near instant boot of the Windows 8 preview . It is actually faster than the original Joojoo 8s or so boot time : Don`t believe me check it out below :
I installed the 32 bit version after wiping the 64gb joojoo msata clean of Windows 7, it took a night of trial and error and sometimes scary messages . To install set the Bios to boot ( hit del at start up) from USB ( your bootable 32 bit Windows 8 USB) , then when Windows 8s installer claims it wants to reset , and makes the joojoo go dead (yes really) remove the USB stick , set the Bios to boot from the SSD ,and start her up again , and wait and you will see a green screen ...eventually...
The other great thing to note about the install is , you can do it all mouse and keyboard free on a tablet , touch works BEFORE you install anything ! All the language and install menus , just touch and chose .....
Oh and once it has installed go to Windows explorer and install the joojoo touch firmware again , and run the tuning software as touch will go haywire until you do , then reset , by swiping back from the right of the screen , touching the settings icon and the power off icon ..and when you start the machine up again touch will have been calibrated and working like a charm as you can see in the video below which is a stress test to show how advanced multitasking is in Windows 8 , and this is on just an Atom powered tablet ,
And remember when they told you your Joojoo was too long? well check out the video below , the 12.1 inch screen looks gorgeous in the portrait orientation and allows enough room to have the keyboard or touch panel docked at the bottom of the screen , again check the speed of browsing , this is the power of your gpu accelerating your web experience
Tomorrow I will have tested Windows 8 on the i5 powered dual screen Iconia , and the i7 powered X220T ,by way of the dual screen Toshiba Libretto ..
Today though is joojoo resurrection day , for me and all the other joojoo owners who just installed Windows 8 onto their 1366 by 768 12.1 screened , Ion and Atom powered tablets , that a year ago Endgadget and the rest were complaining about not even running Flash....
With Windows 8 Microsoft have a product that scales from phones , to tablets to full desktops and workstations by way of giant consumer touch screens in between , they have also managed to unify their customer base , Windows 8 being literally your window if you are a developer to 549 million PC users ... And it is about time ..so say we all !
