Post by Black-Hole »

Anyone here thinking of getting the Google Chrome OS?

This video is for Google Chrome Browser but the OS has the same features, except the Security thats in the OS, is Each Process is run in a Virtual Computer, so when you close it it deletes everything so nothing stays on your computer.

It apparently requires an SSD.

I'm not going to, if just for the simple fact that I have no need for it. I use programs that are not available in the cloud alone. I don't care if ChromeOS is way faster, it's not useful enough to warrant switching.

Then you're not switching, ;)

Definitely not using. Too restrictive.

LUK will have windows apps support without the use of wine. They even want it to support stuff like Windows drivers. It's a project funded by the Chinese government so I think it has potential. It's basicly an extended Linux with native Windows compatible API.
