    The reason why Chrome OS isn't going to take over at all is because I can safely say that 90% of people who use computers want a user-friendly out of the pack OS in other words windows. I've been using computers since I was 7 (win 98) and I'm still having trouble using linux with ease.

    Great arguments, but I still think Google stands a big chance of taking a significant chunk of the OS market away from Microsoft.

    Windows does suck compared to Linux, but its simple, most people dont understand anything but right and left mouse clicks!

    Before the iPhone hits the market, Nokia generally leads the market throughout the world.

    It has the potential to cause serious harm to windows, but it is a long way from being a killer.

    Look at it this way, with 2 second boot up times, I will have this as a dual boot option for when I want to get a browser up to check mail, facebook, adsense, shares, news etc. I imagine in time this would probably become my primary boot with windows secondary.

    im also agree with you. making a good OS is not easy and fighting with microsoft is too hard. it's not like making a web browser

    If it didn't help Chrome, much less Chrome OS?

    Explanation please?

    I'm in agreement also:D

    Very true. Unless you have the software team behind you, and the support you are useless.

    I also noticed that Chrome still has a lot of glitches, and has a ton of room for improvement. :( It really screws up some pages.

    Games can be a major drawback for Chrome OS ..
    and also yes its based on linux kernel ... and has very limited basic applications ..
    There is a hint that all applications will be cloud based .. so very difficult to install new app ..

    For a webmaster and tech user this is enough but for normal people which forms the majority this is not good..so Chrome OS can never be a MS killer . never

    I downloaded Google Chrome a few months back... deleted it in 5 minutes :|

    It is so boring and dull, Firefox is the BEST
