I’m feeling that for an economic interest we are taking a leap back, where everybody’s got his own OS.

I’m not for or against Microsoft.

But I also think that the standardizations we have these days are an achievements on IT side and informatics diffusion.

Advantages are on part of Google OS project, but incoherencies (such as bundled browser)and quite total dependencies on internet should be taken into account.

Hi Brandon,
I believe that netbooks, Google Chrome OS and cloud computing are all real.

Wow, cloud computing! I never thought it would be this soon to here about a “Kind-of, Sort-of” OS. I thought we would need like Wi-fi hotspots every where or fiber optic cable up to the doorstep. I mean sometimes you can get a bad connection or something is interfearing with the Wi-Fi {Like a cellphone.} You know I imagine this Sort-of OS is going to have to be very light wieght. From the name “Net-Book” it sounds like a laptop built just for browsing the web. I think it’s still going to be a while before this cloud computing thing is up and running full throttle. Hey it might not happen may end up as Vapor-Ware.

Microsoft had IE for UNIX a while back that ran on Solaris and HP-UX, they abandoned the port though.

Picking the unix port back up would be kind of pointless now anyway considering that people on Windows can’t even really uninstall IE and most of them want nothing to do with it.

It is a shame that they let the standards-compliant Tasman rendering engine (used in IE for Mac) go totally to waste, IE for Mac was actually my favorite browser at one point, but IE for Windows has never been my favorite anything.

The “official” party line of Chrome OS is that it will be small and simple, what will end up happening I think is that people will start packaging “add-ons” for the operating system.

While it will always be mainly web-centric, I think it will grow outwards almost as far as the user wants it to.

There’s more here than Google is letting onto, no business starts a product with the goal of playing second fiddle to what’s already out there.
