Google Chrome OS is a bad idea

[Kruzen]

You're a fucking asshole that's wrapped around too many cocks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_chrome_os

"The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Chrome web browser. Because a browser incorporating a media player[7] will be the only application residing on the device"

"The lack of being able to access a desktop, due to the fact that the operating system relies on Cloud computing, can be "claustrophobic". Also, the need for internet access can hamper its potential"

Let me hear your take on Google's operating system.

My take on it is that it's a fantastic idea for particular situations. Operating on a LAN bandwidth will not be a problem on anything gigabit rated or higher, especially for the type of applications you would be running on a device that google's OS would be appropriate for.

Chrome OS is not intended for 3D gaming, processor reliant graphic design, or any other system intensive usage.

Chrome OS is supposed to be a thin operating system to handle every day tasks that require small amounts of processing power and data throughput, like browsing the web, simple photo editing, chat sessions, and thin applications such as a CRM portal, Medical industry MRE software, and streaming media.

I can't really think of any problem with Chrome OS for use as a mobile platform either if you're using it on a true 4G network either, and like I said before anything gigabit rated or higher should have no problem 'pushing pixels' to and fro from your device.

Thin clients have been around for years, and most of the things you do on the web already operate as a thin client (think google apps) and have no problems with functionality with your shitty dialup modem all the way up to your crappy 10mbps comcast cable.

Chrome OS will be fine. Just don't try to edit your 850MB uncompressed TIFF's on a cloud located 26 hops away on a 56k modem and you'll be fine.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got an Internet sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Better compression? In 1997 we were getting 'satellite' TV through the copper phone line in my house. Pac Bell was using the converter box to uncompress the signal... another example would be 40GB flash drives?

It would be cool to not have to wait for a traditional OS to load. Just hit the on switch and go.
