I for one like using a email client and have never really liked using web mail. Cloud computing and web applications are great for somethings but will never take the place of desktop applications for me. I for one like to be in control of what data I upload to servers and would never us a OS that takes that away from me. I am Old School, a true OG, DOS for life.p.s.

Chrome OS is meant for portable computers. the biggest advantage of it working in the cloud is… portability? am i the only one who sees a bit of redundancy here?

Myself won't let look somebody else in my stuff and I store my personal business on my personal computer, it's private, that's it, period. Google Chrome OS users and Mikeysoft users.

Seems like the anti-Microsoft fanatics are getting desperate and just grasping at straws here.I can see Chrome OS being a niche product, but there are far too many problems with the concept and I can't see this being a very viable venture across a large audience for the next 5-10 years at the very least. Even then, I doubt it would be superior to traditional operating systems unless serious major advances in technology are made.

I've been hearing about Windows killer for som time now either Apple, Linux or Chrome OS right now. Maybe in the future they will have a big impact on the market but for now they are not relevant due to their install base and the marketshare of their OS. Windows is a stable OS that's constantly involving and it will continue to do so. I think if Apple or Google were to dominate the OS market there wouldn't be any innovation in it due to the lockdown nature of their company. If Microsoft can pull itself together on a cloud based OS like Midori or Azure as soon as possible they might be able to stand a chance and dominate the cloud OS market like they have done with Windows.http://www.bing.com When it comes to decisions that matter, Bing & Decide Don’t think Google or Apple will knock Windows down any time soon.

All the bloggers and news portals that told us that Google Chrome and Android will be the death of Internet Explorer, Windows Mobile or Symbian are now jumping again on the bandwagon telling us that Google Chrome OS will be Microsoft's death in the operating system market.While this stance does attract lots of readers it fails to address many of the problems associated with a cloud based operating system.I for one do not want to store my data on the web. What happens if my Internet connection dies? Will I be able to access anything at all? What about privacy and security concerns.My prediction is that Google Chrome OS will be a niche product much like Google Android and Google Chrome are. This might change in the next 5-10 years though but definitely not in the near future. Mike I agree with you on this one.
