How do we access our downloaded games like World of Warcraft with your computer if you only have Chrome OS and you get rid of Windows or iMac? You don't. Rethink this Google. If your computer is just a web browser then you can't do much else besides browsing, and I like to play the occasional downloaded game.
@soldier0213 Chrome OS isn't meant for the desktop. It's mean for a low powered laptop or netbook. With Chrome OS, you can do 90% of what you use the computer for, internet. The other 10% is your desktop/higher end laptop for gaming, video editing, etc. Google isn't trying to replace your desktop, they're trying to give you a device optimized for the web for your web browsing.
Come on. I'm a mathematician, I know that 17+20+90 = 100... right?
Apple and Microsoft are Evil. Free Software is Good. Wow, that sumarises the thing. I don't care what is the marketshare, it doesn't change my premises.

You NEED a lot of programs running locally to do your job.. Internet application nowadays can't handle enough files...

@K2ACP Open source HARDLY means that someone is coding malicious software into your OS. And im running Ubuntu right now and it seems to be working just fine. I have had 0-little problems with it. plus its FREE. nice. and its also nice that we have an entire community working on coding things.
Microsoft has one thing over all other OSes, and that is self extracting programs.
no other OS can recreate that and sell it with out Microsoft suing their ass off, face it, if linux had a self extracting program built into it, most of us would be using linux
@RSready4death What do you mean self-extracting programs? You mean installers? Because RPM & DEB beats Windows's system any day of the week, mostly because of the system of dependencies that is available so that an package can download all the other necessary packages. In windows you usually get all the libraries bundled with the application, so in your download folder you probably have like a hundred copies of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.
@cristicbz speaking of dependencies, this is a problem before in XP, when you install similar DLL files from different programs, it will cause a conflict and a problem. they tried to solve it in Vista, but damn, the WinSXS folder gets bigger. i don't know in Windows 7 though. I don't know because I am using Linux. :D
chrome os is shit. "durr my computer takes too long to boot up so i'll just strip it down until all I can use is the internet! Yeah and I'll store all my private shit online where it can easily be accessed by hackers!
Open source OSes such as Chrome and the many other Linux distros won't work. It's like not having a government or police, you can do whatever the fuck you want, but nobody will help you if you do something that fucks you up. There also will be people editing the code to make it malicious and trying to fuck everybody else. The reason people like open source is mostly because it's free (as in beer) and runs great on old machines
@K2ACP Open source doesn't mean free. Peer review is why you can't write malicious code and fuck everybody else. So now that, that is out of the way the reason why Linux never took off and Chrome has a chance is commercial support. There is a reason why even Mac as "popular" as it is only holds minimal market share. Chrome is bringing in support from the beginning, good form. You're a moron, got hide back under your rock.
@johnz7777 no open source means free. if there are peer-reviewers, that software is no longer open source because with open-source anybody can edit the code as long as they redistribute it back to the community. You're an asshat, go jump in a lake.
@K2ACP You have no idea what you're talking about. You're failed attempt at saying peer review makes it not open source is laughable and makes you look even stupider than you already are. Open source is completely different than free software. You have no knowledge of anything you are talking about. Read some books, watch some documentaries. Clearly you are going off what some Apple or Microsoft fanboi told you, and because it makes sense to YOU, you accept it as fact.
@johnz7777 k, fine, i was misinterpreting open-source. but still... NO NEED TO INSULT ME, ASSHOLE! I still don't believe that open-source is the right way to make operating systems. having open source code is like having open schematics of boeing 747's. other companies can freely steal from you without worrying about copyright infringement
@K2ACP Now you are coming from the companies perspective to fight against open source. Obviously they have found a way to make money as well as all sorts of other open source companies. You see me as the asshole, which you came here providing misinformation to people, providing a disservice to the community. There are ways to protect open source software(GPL, CC licencing, Copyleft). If you don't want to be insulted due to lack of knowledge, if you don't know something don't talk about it.
@johnz7777 no, it's just that i don't see open-source as a viable model for operating systems, just like i don't see communism as a viable model for ruling a country. how was i providing a disservice? I was merely stating my opinion. many companies don't acknowledge gpl or copyleft, because it's stupid. Copyright was created for a reason- to make sure nobody reproduces your work.

Again you are talking without knowledge and stating it as fact, that is you providing your disservice. Your opinions aren't based on fact which is why you look so stupid, just stop already.
@johnz7777 but they're already doing whatever they want with open-source code. patent laws are all confusing and convoluted, many companies unintentionally infringe patents by accident. even with copyleft, companies can steal the source code and use it as they want.
@K2ACP They are doing whatever they want with closed software. There goes that entire post of yours. I know how you can think that companies can steal code because Apple stole open source code and made it closed source(since you're an Apple fanboi). How well is that going from a market share standpoint? They were below Linux until 2006 when they went away from the powerpc architecture and went with intel. Now they are a mere 3% ahead of Linux in marketshare, because of marketing.
@johnz7777 well, if you could elaborate on your statement that apple stole open-source code, that'd be great. The only thing I can think of is the Mach kernel from BSD and that wasn't even apple, it was NeXTSTEP. Which was WAY back in the early 90's. And it wasn't really stealing since it was open-source. OS X marketshare was DEFIANTLY not lower than linux's in 2006. OS X has currently a 20% marketshare, and i know for a fact that linux doesn't have 17% marketshare, it's much lower than that.
Chrome browser is very secure because apps run in a tight sandbox and can't damage the host OS. If they misbehave they just self destruct. New IE9 is a touch faster but, wonder of wonders, it has the clean stripped down look that Chrome was born with. I use Chrome on several systems and about the only things it can't run are a few specialized business apps and Microsoft Update.

I am a student who doesn't have internet access throughout most of my campus. I'm wondering if I will be able to save and load rich text editors without the internet if I am using Chrome OS.
@sinand99 Not if we talk netbooks. Ubuntu Netbook Edition is a mess, but the whole concept behind Chromium OS is to use Chromium as a Window Manager to the Web, I've even read somewhere that that was the whole point of Chrome anyway, and one of the reasons it treats each tab as a different process (I personally believe this is an excellent idea)
@skoobydew20 Are you really that retarded? The main areas in which Google are in are the Browser, OS, Search, Phone and various other random things, mostly pertained to the other areas...Browser there's IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera. OS Windows, all the shit loads of other Linux, OS X. Search, there's Bing, Yahoo and others. Phone, there's random generic ones, there's MeeGo, Windows mobile, i OS etc...You have CHOICES, PS don't like google delete your Youtube account then.
@skoobydew20 Aww someone's butthurt. Google couldn't monopolize even if they wanted too, which they don't., They just want to be better. Yahoo still exists, It's the 4th most visited site even. Ask.com still exists #51. Bing #25. IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari still exist. The internet isn't like the real world, monopolizing is a lot harder. Chrome OS isn't going to replace Windows, not even Linux or Mac. Calm down and take a chill pill. And to top it off it's OPEN SOURCEl
@vargulf19 Dude who cares if its open source. All im saying is that Google wants to be everything in ur life. well im gonna leave u along before i get rape by open source android tards hahaha
@Maxcited can you think for yourself? Sub-par addons, really nasty security, google tracking and storing all your data, the risk of your computer becoming a botnet? Do people honestly not care about these things anymore? Do you just listen to the adverts and hear the word faster so HERP DERP its better? Think for yourself. Opera is a great alternative. Firefox is secure fast and has add-ons. Minefield (FF 4 Beta) is the same speed as google in benchmarks.
The major flaw with ChromeOS: It's terrible for programmers. Any python, java, C++, C#, etc. editor is never going to be a web app. How do the developers running ChOS even write for it?
@aibomart Chromium OS was designed for people who go straight to their browsers on start up and remain there until shut down. If you are a gamer or an 'editor' you are not their target audience.
@DinosaurYeahYeah You are completely right, Chromium OS is designed for Porn-Watchers and facebook addicts. It should come with a webcam that's slightly turned downwards to my penis, that way, I could go to ChatRoulette with style. ;)
@aibomart Why will Python, Java, and C# editors never be web apps? Web apps are supposed to be tiny (although that's slowly changing) so the apps won't be resource heavy. And (text) editors run fine on weaker machines, after all you're just editing text which is one of the most basic functions. You won't be able to run full-fledged IDEs in Chromium but you don't need to for web apps.
I thought Google were all about originality not just getting Ubuntu (Linux) and making Ubuntu with a google splash screen, i was really excited when i heard Google were making their own OS but then i heard how and now ill just give it a miss.
@FatDaws hey, to take a strong (and nasty) project like ubuntu, i think that it's a easy way to developt a new distro, what do U want "linux from scratch" (distro)
@Maxcited That's funny. I swear any other browser I have will allow me to play the FB Scrabble application. This seems to be a task too advanced for Chrome to accomplish so far. So no, while it has some cool bells and whistles, it certainly isn't the best browser out there.
@Maxcited I make a great argument for SRWare's Iron browser, though. It is almost completely chrome compatible, I even use chrome's extensions. It is pretty much the same as Chrome, except without the "spyware" features that bug some people about Chrome and Chromium.
@Maxcited Mozilla is better by far.. Better download security, blocks pop ups. It's easier to configure. Mozilla is more sophisticated for advanced users. Google Chrome is a simple browser, It's faster than most but carries less security and guarantee that it will work with all components. It's more like a handbook for literally idiots who don't really know much about computers or the internet or how it works. Last of all Google Chrome has been around for not very long and only ranks #3 GF bud.
@Maxcited Iron by SRWare is better, it's essentially the same as Chrome since the program is based on the Chromium Project, but it doesn't contact the Google Servers every time it does something.
morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die.
Personally I think it's great that Google has joined in and offered its own browser. It adds another product for us users to choose from.
What I can't help but find funny though is that there are elements from Firefox, Chrome and Opera that I like, if only someone could blend them all together to create my ideal browser.
If they can find a way to make Chrome OS capable of running a better browser like Opera and more importantly, actual computer games, then they'd have me converted.
I'm ready to drop Microsoft on his face, just empower me.
I discovered Opera 10 not long ago and was taken by its speed and features included from the get-go. Before that I'd been a Firefox user, though I still keep Firefox installed as my trusty 'just-in-case' browser, as Opera does have its odd moments. However I don't think these minor oddities outweigh what I like about it.
As for Chrome, yeah it looks pretty and goes fast but it just doesn't come anywhere close to satisfying my needs in a browser.
I understand what you are saying and I agree that Opera provides more features for a given user to take advantage of. However, I can't count how many times each day I run into websites that Opera will simply NOT render the page correctly. This tends to happen more with websites that are pulling in external information or have customized video players. Chrome doesn't have any problems with this. I think if Google could incorporate some of Opera's features it would be the best for now.
THIS BROWSER IS GUNNA BE THE BEST, ESPECIALLY ON MY SONY NETBOOK!
Although I hope it does support touch-screen and 3D PCs, hopefully it won't just be downloadable by Windows, Mac and Linux OS PCs, but other OS PCs to download! XD
This really is amazing if everyone gets on board especially open source drivers but what would really stop me is GAMING. I doubt microsoft will give direct x to this project LOL, it's probably the only thing stopping me from getting this.
@1q3er5 Soon, that won't be a problem. Open source alternatives are being developed that will work just as well as direct x, which has quite a few problems as it is. Similar to the way developers port to Mac, they will begin porting to Linux as well. Open source overs for continued advancement by millions who want to fix, rather than forced to.
I agree. I believe that the gaming industry needs to reinvent itself. Instead of spending money on creating CDs and DVDs they should just make games web-based. I have read different research trying to render graphics on the server side instead of the client side but I think that type of technology is going to be years down the road. Some games take a TON of graphics to run however I believe that is the wave of the future. The intent is to not have to buy a $1000 computer just to play games...
@countlessnine You could already play some oldschool games like doom and quake 1 and 2 on a webbased level.. So it won't take long untill we are there.. I promise you..
@Tobsson Yeah, but those are old games...I'm thinking of where new games are heading as more of them are starting to utilize the quad core processors and much more video and high definition graphics. I don't think that games running similar to WOW will be too much of a jump but newer games that seem to be blending high definition videos and graphics more and more can't be comparable in terms of how much resources it takes to host them. I'm honestly hoping it doesn't take long but things tend to.
but check it out... his account is closed. Just as I thought, he's a lobbyist for Microsoft. Microsoft is scared shitless by Googles new OS, and rightly so, they hire people to troll boards like these to downtalk google and promote winblows.. think about it.. with over 70% of the search engine marketshare, a fleet of apps that makes ms office obsolete and now their own OS.. what's to keep people from abandoning microsoft altogether?
GOOGLE WANTS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!!!
The reason that they are so big is the fact that you cannot go anywhere without running in to an ad by Google. The longer your online the better the chance that they make money, its that simple.
And that ad is a whole lot more unbearable than paying Microsoft an obscene amount of money for an os that isn't even technically yours to do with what you will. This os wil be and it's code is out in the open for all to see unlike windows.
They are also a Microsoft monopoly breaker! Which is very needed being that they have held a virtual monopoly over all software ran on it. It is time for the internet to be the foundation of applications so there can finally be some honest competition so we can have freedom of choice!
For example, Google can sell hardware support to vendors and compatibility support for web-services (like Lala) keeping ChromeOS open-source. Software can be free for community and profitable for developer at same time
dfgvbvbv Fucking happy your account is suspended you trolling waste of life. You worked in IT for 21 years? My ass you did.
Google makes profit by advertising, so what? Are the ads in your way when you go to any of their sites? Does it hinder your Gmail, Google docs, or the search engine? Maybe YouTube, maybe.
I was answering a question. Linux has shown that operating systems can be free. Google has a history of making free apps. Why would Chromium OS not be free?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Linux has been around since the first kernel in 1991. Did Open Source REALLY make a difference? NO! So wtf are Google thinking? Is it open source that has reduced MS from its 92% market share in 2009? NO!
Microsoft's market share on netbooks and other portable devices is much smaller, because they can't afford anything except awful Windows CE or old and unprepared for netbooks windows XP
You're an idiot. Windows 7 was also designed with netbooks in mind and many tests have shown that it runs great on a netbook. There is no better OS for a netbook than Windows 7.
Good joke. Of course there is no better OS for a netbook, than Windows 7 that consumes 15 GB of disk space, requires 1 GB of ram and won't run on ARM architecture
no only browser stuff would be run. These may not evan end up able to run some of the web pages. They are not looking at this for anything like replacing windows desktop becuase it would be too crippled by the way they made it
With a "free" OS controlled by a public traded corporation such as Google who is already basically an Ad Broker, will users have to deal with even more advertisements with ChromiumOS?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's Linux-based so don't expect much. Linux platform got only few good open-source games and commercial releases, in comparsion with Windows or even Mac.
Tsk tsk. With the company with probably the largest web/internet presence, Google, behind it - also arguable the smartest (The best of MIT anyone?) the institutionalising of Linux would be fantastic. Though, I don't think it's necessary. What Linux needs is the implementation of a common binary package format so apps are readily availble to everyone with compiling etc. which I can never get to work. A big turn off for the real 'noobs'.
If Google poored effort into WINE - all smiles and sunshine
Linux is meant primarily for servers and code junkies. Chrome OS is for people who do web browsing and watch/listen to media. In either case, games and commercial releases will be mostly irrelevant.
To the contrary. Linux is just the kernal - the very back end of say, Ubuntu. When programs are packaged and intended to be used with Ubuntu, they're a lot easier to use than Windows programs!
As stated, Chrome OS uses this Linux back end, or kernel. So take that as your proof of Linux's capabilities.
Linux can be used for everything, and it is. It just lacks some things Windows has, (Largely a user base). If DirectX ran on Linux, I'd use Linux day to day without issues. But, I like my games.
... and I have to many issues with WINE to make that a good option.
And you'll find that in large scale corporate environments, Windows usually powers the servers. Makes sense, they use Windows clients so it integrates tidily.
Agreed, I think I meant that comment for someone else and must have replied to you by accident.
That's pretty much the only reason why I also don't use as much as I'd like, because it's too difficult to run games well on there.
It's just in my experience, I'm guessing on smaller scale servers or in more tech-y, independent environments, Linux is the favorite of choice when it comes to servers. I'd expect Windows to be used in corporate environments for the reason you gave.
Word Linux can be used for Linux kernel and for OS, that runs software (mostly, GNU) on top of Linux kernel. It's common misunderstanding, Ubuntu is yet another Linux distributive (packing of branding, software, kernel, installer, etc. for Linux). If you will change some software. name or logo, it still will be same GNU baseutils running on top of Linux kernel.
You are saying that Chrome OS is not Linux (okay, GNU/Linux), are you kidding me? :)
Why is YouTube plagued with such bad grammar and spelling? I can't believe that people still don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". I also can't believe how rude people are. It's depressing. I can barely find a comment on this video that lacks a comma splice, run on sentence, sentence fragment, misused word or horrible spelling error.

@johnz7777 well, if you could elaborate on your statement that apple stole open-source code, that'd be great. The only thing I can think of is the Mach kernel from BSD and that wasn't even apple, it was NeXTSTEP. Which was WAY back in the early 90's. And it wasn't really stealing since it was open-source. OS X marketshare was DEFIANTLY not lower than linux's in 2006. OS X has currently a 20% marketshare, and i know for a fact that linux doesn't have 17% marketshare, it's much lower than that.

Chrome browser is very secure because apps run in a tight sandbox and can't damage the host OS. If they misbehave they just self destruct. New IE9 is a touch faster but, wonder of wonders, it has the clean stripped down look that Chrome was born with. I use Chrome on several systems and about the only things it can't run are a few specialized business apps and Microsoft Update.

And (text) editors run fine on weaker machines, after all you're just editing text which is one of the most basic functions. You won't be able to run full-fledged IDEs in Chromium but you don't need to for web apps.

However I don't think these minor oddities outweigh what I like about it.
As for Chrome, yeah it looks pretty and goes fast but it just doesn't come anywhere close to satisfying my needs in a browser.

I understand what you are saying and I agree that Opera provides more features for a given user to take advantage of. However, I can't count how many times each day I run into websites that Opera will simply NOT render the page correctly. This tends to happen more with websites that are pulling in external information or have customized video players. Chrome doesn't have any problems with this. I think if Google could incorporate some of Opera's features it would be the best for now.

I agree. I believe that the gaming industry needs to reinvent itself. Instead of spending money on creating CDs and DVDs they should just make games web-based. I have read different research trying to render graphics on the server side instead of the client side but I think that type of technology is going to be years down the road. Some games take a TON of graphics to run however I believe that is the wave of the future. The intent is to not have to buy a $1000 computer just to play games...

I'm honestly hoping it doesn't take long but things tend to.

Linux is meant primarily for servers and code junkies. Chrome OS is for people who do web browsing and watch/listen to media. In either case, games and commercial releases will be mostly irrelevant.
IMFagentSamFisher 2 years ago
To the contrary. Linux is just the kernal - the very back end of say, Ubuntu. When programs are packaged and intended to be used with Ubuntu, they're a lot easier to use than Windows programs!
As stated, Chrome OS uses this Linux back end, or kernel. So take that as your proof of Linux's capabilities.
Linux can be used for everything, and it is. It just lacks some things Windows has, (Largely a user base). If DirectX ran on Linux, I'd use Linux day to day without issues. But, I like my games.

It's just in my experience, I'm guessing on smaller scale servers or in more tech-y, independent environments, Linux is the favorite of choice when it comes to servers. I'd expect Windows to be used in corporate environments for the reason you gave.
IMFagentSamFisher 2 years ago
Word Linux can be used for Linux kernel and for OS, that runs software (mostly, GNU) on top of Linux kernel. It's common misunderstanding, Ubuntu is yet another Linux distributive (packing of branding, software, kernel, installer, etc. for Linux). If you will change some software. name or logo, it still will be same GNU baseutils running on top of Linux kernel.
You are saying that Chrome OS is not Linux (okay, GNU/Linux), are you kidding me? :)
