At inaminam:
Why is it that you claim that they stole the idea, according to your presumption that the idea was stolen we can assume that you also think that Google Search is a stolen idea, the reason I say this is because there were internet spiders before Google.

the truth is windows has not much changed after windows 98, they are pushing it and since there is not competitor so they are winning. There was so much promised for vista but what we got is just change of main interface ( actually they just changed the exploere.exe lol) anyway I hope google will play intelligently and we are waiting. PLus microsoft always steals the ideas. Give you two examples, google introduced desktop search, some third parties introduced other desktop widgets and microsoft introduced all that in vista. The thing is that microsoft been doing this for years. Bill gates is not a very computer smart person but he is business evil for sure so he ruled all these years. Time will tell what happens next but the scary part people don't know much and all they know is microsoft is very smart. Look at xbox, ps3 is better system but xbox won over why you think. Another example IE is a corporate standard, nobody can use anyother browser in corporations. How this happened because microsoft added in to windows. IE was not develeped but micorsoft. See how smart micosoft is to monopolize the market. At the end you do think if we live in non competitive enronment we can get good products. A point for you to think.

For the love of god, and all that is holy. Stop even posting the title as "Will chrome OS be a windows-killer" or anything to that effect. The fact is that Windows has an outstanding majority and will not be killed in the near future. Also the chrome OS is a net-based Operating System which will be available on netbooks, not desktops from any anouncement google has made.sutr you could install it but why would you, it's only purpose is user-experience and to access the web, why would you go from a multi-compatible OS such as windows or Mac OS*.

I don't know about the OS...but I love google chrome web browser! It is tons better on a windows computer than explorer, safari and firefox! It is my main browser now...if Google's OS is as great as the browser they developed, than I'll make the switch to google os over windows...as long as it is stable and it runs microsoft word.

But than again that's only for my windows computers...I wouldn't switch to Google OS over OS X Snow Leopard...Mac's are my computers of choice. But I think Google OS will be fantastic on a netbook! And if they (google) develops a stable OS that is fast and efficient and can run Office, third party apps and is device friendly, than I think it will take down Windows no sweat.

I think Google can take out Microsoft. Since Everyone used Google, Google can easily advertise Chrome OS and get everyone to use it. The only thing Microsoft will be used for is gaming but I bet Google can make a Chrome OS a gaming OS and get rid of Windows forever!

I dont think that the chrome os will kill windows because alot of people dont just use a browser, they use their os for things like business, gaming, etc. even though google's os will enable you to do most of that stuff online, i think that alot of people are going to be paranoid about saving their personal data online. So chrome os will be used mainly by the people who trust the internet, and others who still feel nervous about their personal data will use os's like windows, macintosh, and linux.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have talked about Web-centric OSes like Google Chrome OS before.

You can find the full transcript of an early 2007 interview in http://d5.allthingsd.com/20... and you can find a video of it in http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I’ve also posted only the part of this interview related to cloud computing here: http://my.opera.com/facilde...

The question is this...well if you have a hardcore gamer like me...because I love to play a lot of Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMORPG), Do any of you guys think that the Google OS will be able to run what Windows can run? For an Ex: If I wanted to play a Korean MMORPG...and not Just World of War Craft, would I need to download applications such as wine.exe, etc. just like linux? Someone please give me valid information.

Suggestion: Why not run a poll here to see how many people would try Google OS if it was free? I know I would.

Though I have installed chrome browser, I haven't tried to use it. I am 100% comfortable with Firefox. I may put google chrome as a virtual pc just for browsing.

Like firefox on browser, for me, ubuntu is very much preferable than any windows or mac or linux desktop.

If it is web based os, it will be perfectly suited for cybercafe business. lets see how it works in long time.

Not all the products launched by google are successful. But I love google's speed and simplicity. They think different way.

If windows 7 sucks more like vista, yes, either ubuntu or google chrome shall get big boost.

In Chrome OS, the applications run in a browser. Every operating system has web browsers available. Developers who develop for Chrome OS will be developing software that also works on Windows and Mac (and Linux). This kills several birds with one stone. Cost effectiveness: near universal market if developing a web app compatible with Chrome OS; Recognition: People who get used to web apps on Windows will be right at home using them on Chrome OS; Breadth: As more and more apps are move to the web, all these capabilities are immediately gained by Chrome OS; Simplicity: Pretty much everyone knows how to use a web browser; Compatibility: all files on any OS can easily be passed around and collaborated on because, again, the OS isn't the platform,

The only people excited about cloud computing seem to be IT writers who cherish the idea of accessing their data from any computer. But they can do that already. This cloud computing just makes no sense. But then again, when did sense have any place in the IT world?

I agree. ChromeOS won't kill Windows any more than Bing will kill Google search. These competing products (ChromeOS and Bing) require a while to reach high enough market share, even if given away for free. And even if ChromeOS is free, the netbooks won't be free altho cheap. I like to see much more diversity in the OS marketplace and the search market. Besides I am sick of seeing all those stupid "Ads by Google" everywhere on everybody's page. I realize that some one must click on them to generate money for users and Google, but who? I've never clicked on one. In fact, I wish I could block these on every page I go to. I'm that tired of them.

I hear that MS has been working on a new streamlined browser for a while (probably influenced by the success of Safari and Chrome) to replace IE.

Apple has been trying to challenge Microsoft on OS, but hasn't made significant headway because its MacOS is tied to its hardware for the most part. yes, there are ports of MacOS to PCs, but it is not a mainstream product. Apple wants to stay in the hardware business so it must defeat these ports to non-Apple computers and laptops.

It's a shame if it only aimed at netbooks as windows does need some proper competition. A love the look & feel of linux but I do feel another company should develop one. Who remembers BEos? And how Microsoft "took" it out of the race?

That Google would go after this new business surprises only those that don't understand Google. Industrial-era thinkers believe you should "stick to your focus". Like GM. But Google knows that in an information economy if you don't keep moving into new markets with new technologies looking for more revenues you won't survive.

While Google won't kill microsoft, i am sure it will break some windows, there's a lot to question about the OS, but for sure i'll give it a try!

It is all about ASUS and their netbooks. They were so smart in Taiwan to pretend they would switch to Android and the dumb guys from Redmond performed a Koutou. Behind the scenes Asus prepared their full fletched Linux strategy, invested into multiple strategic projects for Linux desktop leadership. Now, they come up with Google Chrome OS. As Sun Tzu says, the place where we intend to fight must not be made known because then the opponent will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points. In parallel Opera led the assault on the IE monopoly in Europe. Perfect game.
