Looks crap for normal desktop PCs tbh, can see it working in the netbook market though.

I'll run it for a week when it comes out.
See how it feels.

I like the look of it.
But I love Chrome Browser.

I can see it picking up the new to computer newbies with it's 'simplicity' if I'm honest. Plus Google are the best at everything they do... so watch out MS & Apple.

Google said they were aiming it specifically for the netbook market so I personally think its spot on ^^

This will be an amazing OS for those who haven't got the internet then..

Yeah it'll be riveting for them. Theres stuff for people without internet but I guess theyre aiming for the majority user who do have internet. I bet there will be a reccomendation like "If you lack an internet connection then we reccomend XP on your computer, otherwise Google Chrome OS is the best bet for you". Well I hope so.

It looks mighty awesome though, not my cuppa but if I needed a small laptop on the go then I would fully be up for getting that. I hope you can download applications almost like on their Android store, because that would be a immense feature.

Sure it'd be good but if you are on a worksite and need it quickly, it won't work since you need to connect to the internet >_<

No you wont, you will have to buy a computer with it on, you cannot install it on a normal computer.

Well clearly you wouldn't have a computer with that OS on then. :rolleyes:


Looks pretty simple to use, well it was going to be anyway due to it being Google.

I rather not go back to an OS that was made over 3 years ago.

it is designed for netbooks?

Haven't seen many netbooks without mobile internet
