Living in the Cloud with Chrome OS

[JackyJack]

Google's big recently came and when but its impact and buzz are still lingering witht the tech world.

One of the biggest news was the Cr48 equipped with Chrome OS. You can read about it here

What do you guys think about Google's OS?

Privacy invasion!

I don't understand the online OS at all. There will always be a piece of software that has to run commands to do what it needs to do to run Chrome OS. I'd rather run some kind of solution at home in a NAT storage device myself. This is where Microsoft may head.

Google already knows a lot about everyone.

But I'll do my very best to lessen this and not use google chrome os.

What happens when you are disconnected from the internet? You cant access any of the cloud.

I don't understand that response at all

But yeah anyways MS and Apple are both going the way of the cloud. So are many of the providers out there. Its not a bad idea if you constantly have an internet connection but what are you to do if you don't and don't have the option of a standard install. You'd be kinda screwed

I wonder if I can boot Win XP from a network drive and use it? I know you can PXE boot to install but to run the install would be neat.

Network boot isn't exactly the cloud but yeah you should be able to...heck I thought you could boot 2k from the network.
