Google takes another blow at Microsoft by putting their own operating system, Chrome, on their new netbook platform. Netbooks are the future and Google is poised to rule that future. Is Microsoft asleep?
Netbooks are very light and small computers that don't have much local power (so no gaming) but can do everything on the web. So if you're comfortable with working "in the cloud" (like your word processing documents), it's all you need. And they're priced around $100
Chrome is the operating system that replaces Windows and since it only has to do internet stuff, it is configured to work really fast over the net. Independent studies have confirmed it is faster than Internet Explorer and FoxFire
I guess the only question is whether people will become comfortable working "in the cloud". What about you? Are you ok with putting all your stuff out there? Are you worried about security? About privacy? About redundancy?
