I think Dell's got one but I've only used it by accident because its start button's in a silly place. However, combine it with that BIOS that provides basic GUI based computer functionality and web browsing and google may be onto a winner in quick booting applications. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98468 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:23:48 +0000 raphoenix 98468@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>"Why Google Chrome OS matters already, on Day 1"<br /> <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9135293/Opinion_Why_Google_Chrome_OS_matters_already_on_Day_1?source=CTWNLE_nlt_pm_2009-07-08" rel="nofollow">http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9135293/Opinion_Why_Google_Chrome_OS_matters_already_on_Day_1?source=CTWNLE_nlt_pm_2009-07-08</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98453 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:19:59 +0000 Mike 98453@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>yeah, i dont think this will match up with windows any time soon.<br /> mike </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98433 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:33:27 +0000 raphoenix 98433@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9135280/Google_already_working_with_PC_makers_on_Chrome_OS?source=CTWNLE_nlt_dailyam_2009-07-08" rel="nofollow">http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9135280/Google_already_working_with_PC_makers_on_Chrome_OS?source=CTWNLE_nlt_dailyam_2009-07-08</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98432 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:31:30 +0000 madmacs 98432@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Mike, I´ve heard about it before, sounds interesting for people that are wanting to use "Google only" applications. I don´t think there will be much competition on the desktop market. It would probably be a great netbook OS though. (if you don´t mind Google knowing exactly where you are and what you are doing, lol) Matt</p> <p>EDIT: Moved to Geek Stuff </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98431 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:30:27 +0000 0zSpitt 98431@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i read this this morning. my first thoughts were will it be riddled with ads and googles tracking spyware. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/google-os#post-98429 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:21:53 +0000 Mike 98429@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>you guys heard about this?<br /> <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/07/08/google.chrome.os/index.html?eref=googletoolbar" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/07/08/google.chrome.os/index.html?eref=googletoolbar</a> </p>
