Google = you have no privacy any more - we own you and your information and guess what? It's up for bid baby!
I really don't care that another derivative of Linux will be released, no matter who is behind it.
Google is the new Microsoft.
I'll be all Google all the time.
Meh. I'm happy with Mac OS.
Linux under the hood. Hurrah!
What kind of poll is this?
1. Microsoft sucks and Google is Awesome!
2. Google is Awesome!
3. Google is Awesome!
4. Google is okay, but Apple is Awesome!
5. Linux is Awesome, and by extent, so is Google!
Seriously, this is ******* pathetic! Even Google themselves wouldn't conduct such a blatantly biased poll.
And what the hell is up with all the Chrome OS articles? My news feed is getting clogged with Chrome news stories from cnet. Every other tech site has one article talking about Chrome OS, but cnet has at least a round dozen, most of them talking about how great Chrome is going to be, even though they don't even know any real details of substance and no one anywhere has ever actually had a chance to use it. This is ridiculous!
Another place I noticed some bias was PCWorld. They seemed GAGA over Android.
It is *Chrome* OS after all...
I would love to try it, and would probably dual boot it so when I just want to check gmail, it wont take 3 years to boot up.
Microsoft is completely sux and useless and I hope Google Chrome OS will better thn windows and with out the errors message or the parent protection like Vista
?
Never had a personal experience with Mac OS, but it's good in its own ways and so is Linux. The same thing will probably be true for this Chrome OS. It'll have its pros and cons, just like everything else in this world. Some will like it, some won't.
If Google wants to make an OS, then so be it, let them, what's the harm? Whoever likes it will use it, whoever doesn't, won't. It's that simple ^^

- competition breeds invention. Lets just hope Google OS is not going to be an embarrassment Fail....for the sake of Linux. This is the last Linux push to the mainstream markets.
