This is actually brilliant. Having everything work solely on a browser.
This simplifies everything. No need to store and backup memory and then have to defragment it and maintain the mostly useless information that we keep on our PC's
This is a beautiful concept. just a little ahead of our time.
Imagine, Running a High quality PC game threw your browser, and all you needed is a connection, a browser and for the servers to be up.
Well done Google. Your half way to owning the world. =)
@fiandaca123 It could have been a great OS if Google put enough effort into the development of the Chromebooks instead of releasing them so early. Google Chrome, as it is now, is severely lacking in support from third-party applications, which also ruins the experience of having a Chromebook if there is very little to do except for browsing the web.
@fiandaca123 OnLive is the future as well as this. Many people also already use internet storage for files. It just needs a plug for external monitors, if you wanna watch movies at home etc.
It's perfect regarding speed, simplicity, security, and connectivity. But it needs better support from third party applications to give it that same offline capacity and ability that all ordinary computers have. The only way that this is going to happen is if people buy it, so the "wait and see" philosophy doesn't work on large scale. I can't see anything that says it's not selling good, it's out of stock everywhere in the US, and you can't expect it to be in everyone's home within months.
Chromium OS is a very ahead of time concept, for sure some day they will be dominant, but not now.

@rockstar4mahe Definitely. Sadly, there are Asus Android tablets with a keyboard dock to replicate such a thing.
