Fake Steve Jobs wrote a piece on Chrome OS.And unfortunately that not-so-well-thought-out post was widely quoted!
1. It’s hard to make an Operating System.Are you kidding me? We already know this is not an easy job.
It won't come close to what we've got.You say this? Who said Google chrome OS wants to be like Mac OS or Windows?
Its approach is completely different.Chrome OS will be WEB centric.
Turn on the PC and go online.
Why those windows and Macs needed so much time?
Apps. Desktop based apps.There are problems/complexities with Kernel based programs and User level programs.As main goal of this OS is not to have so many desktop apps so it will not face so many complexities.
Hardware compatibility is a big issue.Chrome will solve it.The world has gone so far! Did you notice that?
Ubuntu is a really smart piece of shit in case of newer hardwares.If somehow geeks start using it they will hack it on their own.So there will be so easy updates/solutions for most of the problems.
Bug fixing will be faster than Apple and Microsoft.
Who said that?!!
I want.So do many others.We don't want those slow windows,Macs.
We want faster,simple,secure and FREE OS.
We want to have PCs at low price.
We want to re-think everything.
We stopped using other crappy mobiles to have iPhone.
We weren't happy with Myspace,we left it for Facebook.
We abandoned hotmail/yahoo for gmail.
We left blogline to use smarter/faster google reader.
We just want BEST.
Google chrome OS will be a better OS if not the best.
Because of Ajax(and some new web technologies) web apps are almost same as their desktop counterparts.
We are now using those.
We want to access our docs,files from anywhere,with anything.
We just want more!
This is a good approach to start the war.Netbook makers don't want to spend a single penny for OS.
So this is a wise decision.
I guess you don't have much knowledge about netbooks, do you?
These OSs are lightweight. When we use netbooks, we don't use many desktop apps.
And Chrome OS is not going to use many desktop apps!
(Again netbook users have their primary PCs.If google can get into their mind ....many will switch to Chrome OS on desktop as well)
It is easy to start with a lightweight OS.Google will learn more.When they start shipping on desktop OS they will do less mistakes.
LMAO.
Within so short time Chrome earned a significant market share.Not so high.Still formidable.
Chrome is the fastest browser on earth.
Why Firefox users haven't switched to Chrome yet?
Mainly because of ADD ONS.
When Chrome will have them,firefox fans will switch to chrome.
Yes you are right on this point.
Knol......and so many other failures are destroying google's reputation.
But this is an important business for google.So they will concentrate.They will have to.
And not everyone is like Apple.I must say they are coolest from this point of view.
6. It’s free, so why should Google bother.
Answers are given here.
7. The only reason OEM’s support it is to try and beat MS down on the price of Windows.Partially true.See here for other reasons.
8. Google is evil.
I don't trust Google,MS,Apple,Facebook.....
I just don't trust anyone!
We just don't trust anyone.
Yes people don't trust Google like they used to do before.But who said that you will have to trust a company to use their OS?
We don't need to appreciate a company.We need to appreciate its product.
