Default Chrome OS

Combined with Googles Apps and cloud computing work, this could get darned interesting.

I read this a couple days ago... Totally stoked on the idea - I'm using the Chrome browser right now and I'm excited to see how the OS will work

A press conference with Google's CEO-
http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/...ially-he-says/

“If you live your life in the browser maybe you don’t want all the stuff that came from Eric’s generation,” Mr. Page added, putting his hand on Mr. Schmidt’s shoulder."

This gets to the heart of it- I need to be in a Windows/Office invironment at work but why should I have to deal with it at home? The Intel/MS and Intel/Apple models are WAY too expensive, complicated, hardware intensive and "feature rich" if you really could "live your life in the browser". If I can access my work system remotely and do everything else* "in the cloud" I'd just need a cheap dumbterminal-like appliance to host Chrome OS.

* everything else is the hard part. Need Google (or someone) to supply pretty high-end photo/video editing, etc.
