"And even if these web apps were of sufficient quality the speed of an average household broadband connection wouldn't be quick enough to do them justice."

That pretty much sums up my problem with this OS. That and the fact that I play a lot of games and use things like Photoshop.

I can see this working quite well on public systems like at Libraries of Universities, though, where they would be mostly used for browsing, or word processing.

Agree that Photoshop etc. won't be web apps anytime soon. But, for most people this seems perfect and it's FREE. Nice of Microsoft to make Office a web app just at the right time...

Perversely, if you've read this article, then Chrome OS probably isn't for you!

However, for a huge number of people it could be (almost) everything they need. My wife only uses here netbook solely for browsing and email and the odd doc. For her this would be perfect.

Hmmm. This assumes that one always has the internet, which is by no means always the case in the UK.

Like many I "probably" look forward more on to this.

However, I DO use my system for more than just the Internet. It concerns me that ALL my data would be *out there* ( security?). And what happens to all my data access when my connection goes down and I NEED access? Of course, in addition, it takes bandwidth (=£) to go up and down all the time and surely a hard disk and coming SSD's will be far faster than uping and downing to some hive in the sky - so does that not make all this sloooow? And if its cached locally then sent is that not a compromise?

Naturally Google would love all the world to just use their OS/Apps/storage like any budding megalomaniac, but the truth of the matter may be somewhat different - but I could be wrong of course! Hellllp ;)

But then I am an ole cynic ;)

Is it called Chrome OS or Chromium? The second video talks about Chromium OS.

Today's internet speeds may be a hindrance and web apps limited, but I would be interested to know how many years you expect it will be before they will not be? Given the OS is not expected for another 12 months at least, could it be that by the time it hits full release the stage will be ready?
