Actually, it sorta is.

It's technology 101: a browser isn't an operating system. Even my gramma can tell you that, and she can't find the start button.

It wasn't really all that ridiculous, was it?

Monopoly? Microsoft tries to dominate the market and crush competition, gouging its customers' pocketbooks. Google, meanwhile, fully supports the open source movement, encourages competition, and offers almost everything to the public for free.

I'll take a Google "monopoly" over a Microsoft one anyday.

It's a CONSPIRACY!! Google always meant to take down the man... I could see it in its eyes it would oogle me every time I typed in my searches! It got to the point I was just uncomfortable with IE altogether and had to switch to chrome just to feel safe on the net again.

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 don't think ChromeOS will kill Windows, but force MS to come out with a competing product.
Google and MS both want world domination. I'd like to see a split. I don't want to Google to control my stuff any more than MS. Which is why I won't put my stuff in the cloud, yet. Or at least, not Google's cloud. And this is why I don't use IE either.

It would be awesome to see this same cartoon, but in reverse as an Advert for Bing ;-)

Also I believe that we could all see, even a year ago, that web apps running in a browser, and more specifically running in Chrome, was actually Google's move to tackle Microsoft; I had actually never released that they were using the exact same four primary colors

Well, it was clear to me when I read that Asus would not go for Android and partner up with Microsoft. At first it was totally irritating because Asus demonstrated (and withdrew from a trade fair) Android on netbooks but then it perfectly made sense to me. Thus the platform for the netbook OS was not Google Android as I expected but a Google Chrome OS. Asus' Linux desktop investments are very much behind the scenes but you can connect the dots. I wonder what the guys at Microsoft now think about their anti-Linux pact with Asus, the eeePC manufacturer.

Adam, its plain and simple. The power of Google Chrome is derived from Simon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... - the all knowing, all seeing memory game from the 70's. The cartoon diverts us from Google's true energy source. Google's yet unreleased products will no dobut be powered by the "Trouble" engine.
