It's still faster to boot up Windows and open the Chrome browser for a wireless connection. Booting is very quick, but wireless network discovery can take up to 10 minutes.

Apple is too expensive and Microsoft needs to learn to work on their OS longer before releasing it. Maybe Google can supply with a Desktop designed OS that runs well or maybe they will crash and burn like Microsoft has been doing quite so often lately.

No interest here...!! As some others above stated, using splash-top, moblin, or similar fast-boot options (heck, even windows vista returning from sleep is quick enough!), a user can access his/her web interfaces pretty darn quickly, and without the tyrannical dictatorship of Google's Chrome OS telling the user what services and software to use in order to access his/her accounts. Dang-nab-it, any browswer nowadays can save your bookmarks and login/passwords. So, users have CHOICE of their web services (email or otherwise). How does google get away with calling a set of bookmarks on top of a linux kernel an "operationg system"??? D. Seems like Chrome OS is less of an OS, and more of a web-content enabler.

My eeePC today with SSD boots into Moblin in 7-10 seconds. Though I also have a second linux based desktop system for a number of applications that are still not available on Moblin. The other aspect is that I use my eeePC with an encrypted partition that contains a lot of sensitive data that needs to remain in my control (outside the cloud). I no longer recommend any friend to buy an eeePC after they removed Linux from their offerings. Hopefully an arm based system with SSD and a decent linux system is the way to go. Google or not. I appreciate Google's interest in the game, since OEMs will not be cowed down by MS on this account. Google has aimed so low (7+3 seconds) with their fast boot system.

That's why I decided to reserve judgment on the OS until it's more complete, and we all have a chance to see what this system can really do. It's hard to gauge at this point exactly how this mobile OS design could affect how we use computers, but I agree that if anyone could pull it off, it'd be Google. Thanks for the comment.

If Google succeeds with their endeavor, the web experience will be much richer and powerful than the desktop experience can ever be. Some other point to remember - the most portable machine is one you don't have to carry. With Chrome OS, the focus will change from the physical device to the function it serves for you. In the TV in your living room, on your mobile or at some hotel room or a short-term office to rent (or even at Starbucks) you will have your cyber environment ready for you. It's hard to envision at this state all the possible ramifications of this concept but it does look like a game changer and if anyone can pull this, it is Google. /d Well, you can view the Chrome OS as an accelerator for Google Applications and to large extent to any web applications.
