What Are You Expecting From Google Chrome OS?

Eh I just read a bit about it. It will essentially be based on a Linux kernel. Not that I hate Linux or anything, but I expected more from Google. What a boner killer.

I am pretty certain that it is based upon Linux but that won't stop them from being creative with it much like Google Chrome the browser. It definitely has its benefits to offer but there are other alternatives that will most likely offer much more.

It's being made with Netbooks in mind, so it's going to be pretty damn basic and won't really offer much in the way of add-ons and the like unless they truly allow people to make a ridiculous amount of tools, applications, etc. like with linux distributions.

	People are already tired of netbooks and that overpopulated market....

	I'd much rather have a mobile workstation instead of an overpriced netbook, that's for sure.

With netbooks in mind, I'm expecting something that beats everything else and, one thing I'd like to see, is an OS that doesn't require a lot of power to run to save battery. If Chrome is able to beat any OS in just that area I'm already interested.

I'm not sure what to expect, but I expect it to be pretty good given it's coming from Google. I'm almost afraid to use it though - Google Chrome was used partially to gather information on what people were doing on the net to be used in the search engine algorythm so I'm not sure what Google's OS will be tracking. I find it a little scary that these things are so readily and easily tracked.

	Exactly, it's scary how much info goes out on the net and can be abused isn't it?
