Google Chrome OS By 2010

An interesting, or revoltin' development. It depends on your opinion of Google to some extent.

Google Inc. said the first devices running its new Chrome operating system will be available by the end of 2010, as the company gave the first public peek of software that Google hopes will drive usage of Internet applications that include its own services.
 
Chrome OS is expected to initially run on small low-end laptops—known as netbooks—but Google expects the Chrome operating system will run on a broad range of computers over time, said Sundar Pichai, a Google vice president. He said the company is specifying what hardware features, such as chips and wireless cards, devices should have to run the software.

Oh yeah, I really want a browser/OS from a company that stores EVERY bit of activity you and I do using their domain.

Sorry, when google handed over those democracy activist's IDs over to the ChiCom's so that they could up their market share, that was it for me.

Add to that their ambitions to be a leader in 'smart grid' technology [i.e.-the thermostat that spies on your energy usage].

I'd sooner trust my mail security to the KGB.

Not going there. Ever.
