Re: Google Announces Chrome Operating System
This is great news, though it's sure to face ALOT of competition from Windows 7. Even with Microsoft limping through Vista, it maintained a dominant marketshare despite competing offerings from different directions. How would Chrome do against a standing Windows 7?

Anyhow, at the matter at hand; As i've stated in another thread my first impression when I heard the news was this would be a major Fail, but when actually read the details on the upcoming Google OS I think it might just end up being the future of OSs.
I guess we'll all see how it goes.....

Google would probably make it efficient and cool looking. At least I hope they do. Someone does. Originally Posted by narsnail
