A budget tells us what we can’t afford, but it doesn’t keep us from buying it….

Thanks for your thoughts. One thing really noticed is that banks plus financial institutions have in mind the spending patterns of consumers and also understand that many people max out their own credit cards around the vacations….

Wouldn't this be completely ideal for a tablet? If I had a tablet it would be for just running a fast browser and some simple apps (nothing that couldn't happily be a web app).

It's my day off, and I just finished playing with Chromium in VirtualBox. It's even worse than I thought. I wasn't kidding when I said that Chrome OS is the bare minimum required to boot your hardware and run Chrome. That's all there is. It's the Chrome web browser. Period. Have a nice day.
What a joke. I hope this thing tanks. I would so much rather run Android OS on a tablet or netbook than this garbage.

The idea of a slimmed down linux running a proprietary windowing system was attractive. It would have had none of the baggage of X, and promised fast performance on a wide range of hardware. I think that's what had us all interested, we were just expecting a more conventional os.

If Chrome's target is netbooks, I think they made a bad guess at where people were going to go. I think people will embrace tablets in a way that they will never embrace the netbook.

I had trouble understanding all of the hype months ago.

Giving it more than a fleeting moment of analysis, it was easy to forsee that Chrome OS would be simply be a minimal Linux variant used to support the Chrome browser. And you could already do that with Firefox & any of a fistfull of Linux distros long before anyone had ever heard of Chrome – the browser or OS.

A happens so often, everyone just got swept up in the media frenxy and now the enevitable post-hype letdown is settling in.

It does look like a huge let down. It's like buying a Netpliance (http://www.targetpc.com/hardware/internet_appli...). If I wanted to do nothing but browse the web, I would have got a WebTV. Do they even make those any more? Probably not, because no one wanted a device that's only purpose was to get on the web.
