Microsoft's had 30 years and still no....

Native Spell Checker (ie, filling out a web form still sucks to this day), yes you can shell out another $400 bucks for Office but c'mon!

DVD Decoder Codec, still ain't native in Windows 7? Macs been doing it for years...

Backup, Optimization and Security that *should be native* but yet costs another $49 ala OneCare, and yet TimeMachine still works and looks and feels better...

I know some people at Always Innovating that must be pretty excited to have this OS on the TouchBook.

Android only uses a Java environment. WebOS uses all web languages (soon including Flash). So, they are quite different.]]>Jul 9th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/
ORLY??

PS. Google you stepping into the OS territory is a bad bad idea.... You didn't even wait to see how android is doing/will do.

Do what you are best at and refine it. That is the search engine and site ranking algorithms.

Google seems like a control freak to me atm.

I have no idea why everybody loves Google with such a passion. It wont take too long for some to realize that Google is turning "evil".]]>Jul 9th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/Jul 9th 2009 4:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/

Of course I'm aware of Engadget's comment system, so I'm going to have to assume you were talking to someone else, since I never criticised or suggested that there was something better.

And since you did criticize them for making it "similar to Windows" (ooh, I used them to quote you that time instead of ironically!) I figured you could give us all insight as to what you think is a better interface for a web-centric operating system.]]>Jul 9th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/

I point to your stated expectation of "different" without giving constructive criticism as to how they are to achieve this with a web interface. (Oh no...

You'd be absolutely correct IF the OP's post had a negative connotation. As I read it, it's fairly neutral. "Different" doesn't mean he's passing unfavorable judgement; it just means he expects something else. For a better understanding of "different" look at the tab placement for IE compared to Chrome.

My people are defensive of Google. ]]>Jul 9th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/first-google-chrome-os-screenshots-leaked/

I know, right? I mean, Google is totally copying Microsoft Live Search. Or wait, it's Bing now. Whatever.

Anyway, Google is *totally* copying Microsoft.

So from this thread, I learned how to quote someone properly and how I should use single quote and double quotes properly.

1) Google never renders long strings such as "Google Chrome OS Private Developer Beta" in the google font and colours. That is restricted to the word "Google" only. You can easily make these highly unconvincing graphics at googlefontdotcom.

2) IT HAS THE WORDS "PRIVATE DEVELOPER BETA" IN MASSIVE LETTERS ON THE WALLPAPER

I've said enough.

Also, why is the start menu a few inches along the "chrome bar"? Seems a bit foolish to me.
