Mobile data connections (3g, 4g, wifi) are going to be ubiquitous in 5 years, or sooner. You will always be on the internet. Download the VM and give it a whirl. <br /><br />So far my biggest gripe is that I can't get it to support more than 800x600 in Virtualbox on OSX, and the buffer limit seems to not let me add any higher resolutions even though my hardware should be more than adequate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20221914224762777582009-11-15T10:38:23.035-08:002009-11-15T10:38:23.035-08:00"I think this is pretty lame.

Why bitch about something you have no interest in using?<br /><br />No one gives a damn if a pure Web O/S can't support your big PC needs. IT'S A WEB O/S FOR A REASON.<br /><br />If you need a big, flashy, bloated, overweight O/S, go spend $300+ on any version of Windows. I'm not hating on Windows (I'm a Windows User on Desktop, Linux on Laptop), but honestly...don't bitch about something you clearly don't even understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-11669955054400089042009-11-12T02:04:30.614-08:002009-11-12T02:04:30.614-08:00No one claims that this is a replacement for Windo...No one claims that this is a replacement for Windows or Mac OSX or whatever, it is simply another idea. Obviously you're fairly unlikely to be playing COD4 in your browser or whatever, but web is evidently the future, so they're taking hold of it! Sounds good to me!

Sure I would like a cool new light weight OS, but I also want to be able to do stuff and might not be on the internet.<br /><br />I just disappoints me that companies choose to take the easy way out and end up with unexciting end products. I have always found it irritating that software is tied down by old hardware - sounds like Chrome is going to be the same way. <br /><br />Someone needs to actually make an OS that can compete with windows and stop wining about how Microsoft has a monopoly. Or Mac needs to make it so there OS can work on machines that are not specifically designed into Mac computers. Give us some good options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-91311637762084009232009-11-03T04:57:51.905-08:002009-11-03T04:57:51.905-08:00Unbelievable.

I think you'll find a company called "Good OS" at www.thinkgos.com already started making something like this ages before Google did. They are using the chrome browser too. I was hoping it wouldn't be a cloud computing OS. Turns out they are just churning out another one of something that's already made.samhornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478164864564713346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-14024294450441954062009-11-02T14:41:48.309-08:002009-11-02T14:41:48.309-08:00This is not a good thing at all.

There are DEBs at the early access page.
