Google Chrome OS
fohfoh:
I recall when it was called something else and you kept doing searches to win a prize. It was an annoying search engine imo. I'd rather use Altavista. (Damn Altavista for taking out the mp3 search function)
Why do you bother giving high expectations to Google Chrome OS? It's a NETBOOK OS. It's a glorified mobile OS on steroids and crack for fucks sake. (A mobile phone runs on 500-600 MHz, a netbook runs on 1.6 GHz) In that sense, you should be comparing it to Windows 95 or 98, not XP or anything higher.

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.

Because aside from Apple and Microsoft, only Google has enough resources push their OS into the market. I'm discounting other Linux variants here not because they're "insignificant" but because most are not backed up by big companies (I can think of only two atm, Red Hat and Ubuntu)

Also, google plans to move the OS to the desktop market a little bit later on.

Honestly, I can find companies to hate far more than MS. Say what you will, at least they are doing W7 right. (Finally)

If they want to compete, they better be up to snuff. And my guess is they'll be patching that OS as much, if not more than MS.
