Source Code Released – Google Chromium OS

I want to be excited about this, I really do. Yet sadly I could honestly care less. To me Chromium gives me all of the excitement of Zonbu with a giant G on it. Web based, browser is its buddy, I am unable to put any real faith in being able to do anything outside of working with lots of Web 2.0 crap.

Clearly based on Ubuntu, it seems like Chromium is pulling focus off of other distros that already offer Google based functionality and instead, make it something official for Google.

Chrome and it’s open source component, Chromium, are clearly trying to target netbooks as it means there is no real let down when wanting to use this as a full blown OS. Again, if you want an open source operating system that is cloud based, I’d stick with something like gOS. Then again, I am an Ubuntu user who is none too keen on trusting Google with yet more data.
