Comments on: Google Chromium OS – It Is For Real!

In lower case, I expect to run it in a virtual machine on any laptop or desktop machine I use regularly. I already find the Chrome browser almost addictive. It does not get in my way, and that's before the extensions start showing up. Speaking of extensions, I have no doubt that there will be versions which interface to other virtual machines for disk and local web service and "remote operation" of non-web apps. What else do I need? Page waits won't be very long when the server is on the same laptop. Don't worry, be happy. Hey guys, it’s OPEN SOURCE, so it can do ANYTHING.

It is especially Google to offer drivers to run their OS on most machine as they wants to make a real success so Google going work together with Acer, Asus, Adobe, Freescale, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Texas Instruments, and the Asus where AsusNetbooks would be part of the first machines to use Chrome OS ...

They are attempting to appeal the less tech savvy web only user base there are many problems with that. 1. The OS will more than likely not come standard on the netbook so the user will need to install it on their own 2. Web Apps pretty much fail they will run poorly due to being java based oh wait it can't have java unless it is built into the OS/ Browser 3. Should a web server for these apps go down the entire App is compromised for the apps hosted there 4. How will users store files if it's web based? 5. The Linux Kernel itself can create so many problems for your average user it's not even feasible for Google to provide all of this tech support for free (No offense to Linux it's just that A LOT can go wrong) 6. Yes I understand that this based towards the netbook segment of the market 7. This renders a perfectly good storage device useless unless they allow for on disk/ ssd applications as basic files will never use up all of the space 8. There are things you CAN do on a netbook but CAN'T on a web based OS unless hard coded into the browser E.G Bit Torrent, iTunes, etc 9. While fast due to the lack of applications it lacks overall usefulness. 10. Most netbooks don't have disk drives how will they get the os on with an ISO Useful Information: The Netbook segment of the market is currently unstable due to the impulsive consumers which this market was created by. The netbook segment of the hardware market usually consists of people who do not really understand computers and their uses and more than likely do not understand how to install an OS. No hate against google or linux i just dont see how it would work It will fail.

Exactly. Chrome OS will be for Netbooks. But depending on the continued popularity of Netbooks, it could put a minor dent in the sales of Windows.

I have not dug down into all the inner workings, but basically what loads is the Linux kernel, X and window manager and one application... Chrome browser. All other applications are web apps and run in the browser. Chrome OS is not designed to replace desktop OS like Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu. It is a Netbook OS. It is real and it is Linux.

It will need some serious pushing - and what of the thousands (millions, even!) of existing apps? They will surely not run under Google's new system.
