i tried Chrome OS and it is pretty much like a scaled down version of Ubuntu. Chrome is just based on Linux and there is nothing new about it.

Chrome OS is sort of a very basic operating system based on Linux. i wish that google make an operating system just like Windows XP that would compete with Microsoft

Yes, Jeff. Right now, Google is building its user base. Soon they will add ads based on the content (email, documents) that you create.

I guess this would be like any other Linux project in that it would be a showcase of their technologies. While I do agree that it will only serve a niche market, you would have to think about the whole Google business model. To them, all their revenue comes in the form of advertisement, and bringing in advertisement in suddle, and sometimes very sneaky ways. While I find it intrusive, I am sure there will be adds as you log in to their service, and other forms of advertisement that they are famous for. I still think it would be interesting to watch how this comes out, for better or worse though.

Matthews, I agree with you. I cannot see how I would use a laptop with Google Chrome OS on it, as I still use many desktop products.

I use Google Chrome as my default browser as well, and will more than likely image my laptop with Google OS when it comes out. Google Chrome is definitely my favorite browser so far – lightweight and speed being the most important things for me. However, I do agree with you. I do not see how this will raise more revenue for Google. Additionally, I wouldn’t play around with Google OS if my laptop was my primary computer, so not sure how it will play out with end users, so not sure how much pain this would really cause Microsoft. Android however, as you mentioned, I can completely understand that!
