Well to start off, those of you who didnt know google is planning to release an open source OS! which is basically a web brouser >.> and supposedly boots insanly fast, but this eliminates photoshop and many other/all programs which are needed for download.

Google Chrome OS is an open source LINUX operating system by Google to work exclusively with web applications.[3] Announced on July 7, 2009, Chrome OS is set to have a publicly available stable release during the second half of 2010.[4] The operating system is based on Linux and targets specifically designed hardware.[5] The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Chrome web browser. Because the browser will be the only application residing on the device, Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Internet.[6][7][8]

Well, you can do a lot of things (photo/video edit, play games (shitty ones), make presentations, etc.) online now, but I personally do have other uses on my computer than just the internet. I could care less about the starting time of my computer, in the ~30 extra seconds I wait in Windows 7, I could just use the starting-up time to get out my homework or get a glass of water or w/e. Or I can wait, doesn't really make a difference.

same for me and the stats for others are not the same for me

60% on the web
40% using my computer for other things(GFX, School, Movies, Games)

if google thinks this will be a major breakthrough i think they are wrong because as of now it dosnt have enough to compete

it would be really good for schools i guess.The whole nothing saves to your hard drive thing is dumb. Like if all your stuff is on the internet. If your internet is fucked up. Your computer is useless because it is a web browser.

The only thing that was shooting through my head while watching that video was "OMG ITS A MAC WITH THE LAST REMAINING SHRED OF CUSTOMIZATION GONE".

I mean seriously, customized hardware? Im a HUGE google fan, but that video really made it look bad. I think his target audience was macs.

I love my computer and it's ability to do whatever i want, how i want. If the new generation of technology is completely streamlined, what room for creativity is there?

~End rant

The idea's good. It's a great option for a group of people.

I can think of some guys I know, that would love it. They only use their PC for the internet, and nothing else. I think it's nice that they're doing this. I'm never gonna use it myself, because I'm doing alot of other stuff on my pc aswell, but it's always good with some different things to choose from, right? :]

Wow, that's got to be the most useless operating system ever invented.
The only reason anyone would be dumb enough to use it is because it will most likely be mass marketed.

You obviously haven't done your research because google specifically stated that they have no intentions of letting anyone install this OS on a normal computer. They made this operating system just for netbooks.

I've tried it in a Virtual Machine. Was pretty slow and buggy but it looks like a good idea. I thought Google said that local copies of files would be kept on the device as well as on the Google servers.

It's good for people who want their OS to boot in about 3 seconds and people who only use the internet and no other programs.

It sounds like a good idea, just like communism, but in practice it will never work.
