Google OS

Wow, has this ever stirred things up! 🙂 Is anyone really surprised though?  This has been expected for at least 2 years now.  If Win7 didn’t have a SKU for Netbooks, this might even be interesting.  Having used Win7 for several months now, I can’t see any reason I would go for such a downgraded experience as a Chrome-based OS.  Still, it will be sure to continue to generate news and I’m curious to see how things work out.
