Yes I’m late to this party. But so what? Others will follow. My point: I think Walt Mosspuppet summed up Chrome OS best here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57LuqfbEVyU

I agree, but I bet they actually do. In the end though Google want their brand front and centre. Fair play, I say, and consumers do love a strong, slick brand.

So will Chrome OS inherit Android’s touch-able features? Perhaps this is a preempted attack on Apple’s forthcoming MacBook Touch?

To me personally it’s just another Linux distro, I would rather google invest their time contributing directly to an establish distro

Sounds like fear of change to me, Michael.

Sure, Linux is the under the hood, but the key here is a subtle paradigm shift – typical of the Google Think Tank – in the way that the vast majority of Internet (not computer~) users do want they want.

If the great majority want to game, they buy a console, not a gaming PC. It’s cheaper, easier and quicker to get their fix.

Google’s OS will satisfy the majority of Internet users for the same reason and by late 2010, I have no doubt that Google will have ramped up Google Apps’ capabilities somewhat. Add Google Wave and iGoogle to the mix and stick it in a 10″ netbook with all the latest wireless connectivity and you’ve got a pretty compelling, integrated Web2 platform to suit Gen Y thru Z and beyond

I have a sinking feeling that this will signify the death to Commodore 64′s OS.
