Google Chrome OS
Haleos:
I use Bing too :p
i'll probably upgrade from Vista to 7 and not give a second thought to google chrome if the reviews are favorable. As long as it works I don't really care, I really have no problems with vista except GFWL. Although windows 7 will fall short of expectations just like it always does it'll probably be more refined than something google can crap out in a year.

One, you can turn that off in WMP, and two, MS does track info like Google does, not evenly remotely close.

Obviously, and I've chosen the search engine I like best. I complain about Bing's name and that it has too many ads. Other than that, it's decent.

I liked the live.com eBay discounts. Are they still offering those with bing?

I'm not so sure about the result you get from using Bing but I have to agree it's image search is much better.

Haven't touched it, and if you've seen me enough on this forum, you'd know that I will never even go near it even with a 10 foot pole!

lol
I knew you would react that way so I made the post :D
This move made by google isn't really surprising. I've been using Chrome since it came out and it's really fast, lightweight and if you look at the interface, it's really designed for use in a netbook. Compare the amount you can view in IE or even Firefox and you'll notice that Chrome's viewable area is bigger compared to those two.
What concerns me are the following:
1. The amount of information they get from me e.g. personal info, usage stats
2. Too lightweight, it seems like it's only useful in netbooks

Yes, it's still running at 8%

Yeah, having images open in a separate frame is way handy.
