What's next the google box 360.

Geared for netbooks? I'll pass.

They'll probably add on to the OS though... well, we'll see.

If you want an OS like this geared for Desktops get Ubuntu. It's based on the Linux Kernal as this one is but geared for home computing. Don't think Google will catch up with it for a while.

So essentially, when it's first released it'll be next to useless.

Unless you're using a netbook, which not many people are. Oh well, they plan to make it open source which can only lead to good things.

Actually I think it's gonna be something like Google buying Wal-Mart.

I've owned a Windows PC for about 8 years now and don't intend to switch anytime soon.

Not if you want to check your mail and stuff on the go. It's mostly for people who aren't home much.

Also Crashfan have you tried any other OSs?

Re: Google's new operating system announced: Chrome OS

I'll probably take a look at this. I doubt I'll make a full switch. I really like the price point, as it fits in my budget right now. Also, I would like a netbook, and this looks like it would be perfect for one (as it's pretty much made for one). I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

One thing that is a little weird, is that it is relying more on the Chrome browser than an OS, if I did my reading correctly. I don't know how I feel about this, only because I really don't like when things like this change. But, if it works well, I'll be pretty happy. Also, the whole uber-quick startup sounds awesome.

OS X (8, 9, and 10), some DOS, and I've dabbled a tiny bit in Linux.

DOS is Windows, and OS X is pretty ****. Also there are tons of Linux distro's...if you've actually JUST been using Linux without any GUI, it's like using command line in Windows...except it's capable of doing things XD.
