My main concern with ChromeOS is they are saying they won't use X11 but a different display manager which means all the current apps for Linux will have to be re-developed rather than just recompiled.
Maybe this is a Google's way of getting a head start with the web based experience as I expect it would be a lot of effort for all the app developers to port to ChromeOS, so in the short term Google owns your experience.

Have you ever tried using a cloud based photo editing application as opposed to GIMP or Photoshop? They're pretty ass. Hell, I'll take a dedicated office suite over the craptacular Google Docs too, at least until every mobile device has at least a solid 100Mbps internet connection that matches storing over a local LAN.

And another reason to be wary of Google's behaviour when it comes to making 'open' OS stuff...

... it's pretty much a very light, web focused linux distribution (at this point anyway).

Well when I use Chrome sometimes it eats up 1.5GB of precious RAM on its own, so their OS might be very heavy on a pc's resources]]>Sep 25th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/nvidia-chrome-os-on-tegra-is-money-not-that-anyone-ever-doubte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/nvidia-chrome-os-on-tegra-is-money-not-that-anyone-ever-doubte/
I maybe missing something, but...

Why Chrome OS is needed, if Android is available already for ARM platforms?

Why not having just Chrome for Android version? Or even a new Android flavor.

I sense a lot of duplicity in the future...]]>Sep 25th 2009 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/nvidia-chrome-os-on-tegra-is-money-not-that-anyone-ever-doubte/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/25/nvidia-chrome-os-on-tegra-is-money-not-that-anyone-ever-doubte/Oct 7th 2009 10:34AM
