    This could save the desktop market...if you could have a laptop that synchs to the cloud and have the desktop synch also...man the possibilities are endless.

    In spite of looking good:

    ''In Chrome OS, every application is a web application.''

    ''ALL data in Chrome OS is in the cloud.''

    My biggest fear has been confirmed. No Chrome OS for me.

    @Nathan Obbards:

    yeah i mean, cloud computing kinda means that your OS is just a glorified web browser.

    no chrome for me either.

    @Nathan Obbards: Same here, any product that could end up in the same data-loss brickitude as the Sidekick (as slim as those chances may be) is definately not on my shopping list.

    @Skunky: That's every product currently made. If you're using your laptop with any other OS, the harddrive could fail, making the exact same thing happen(but with a much greater chance of actually happening)

    @MarcusMaximus: I'd say the likelihood of having network problems is far higher than your hard drive or other crucial component suddenly dropping dead. Even with a robust router and high speed internet, I often see some big glitches because of Optimum Online doing service on the lines, or having service interruptions.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Right, but he was suggesting something akin to what happened with the Sidekicks happening here, which is far less likely.

    @Nathan Obbards: I would just hate to have ALL my data floating around in the cloud somewhere, without knowing where it is or who can access it.

    Or really, having it all sitting somewhere in Google's massive memory vaults.

    I don't know which is scarier.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Agreed, if possible, I'll be compiling this and installing it tonight, though the mention of custom firmware makes me a bit iffy on whether that's possible. I'm not sure what the implication is supposed to be there but it sounds like it can only run on specific chrome os machines.

    @Skunky: +5Up to that! (although I think the lesson has been learned on that one, there's still the possibility for a mass data outage, which would affect people who need their computers for work. And, *gasp* how can I watch Hulu in that situation?)

    @MarcusMaximus: I'm curious as to whether or not this can be achieved in a VM. If so that'd be awesome since I have both Parallels and VMware Fusion to play with.

    UPDATE: well according to the liveblog, I'd have to buy a Chrome OS machine...whatever the heck that is.

    This better make said device significantly cheaper.

    @MarcusMaximus: You are certainly correct, but at the same time, _I'M_ the one in control over how bad the dataloss will be. I should backup important (or nostalgic) data on other HDD's and/or optical media. But with the Sidekicks there was no "local backup" option for ones own personal data and so when the whole thing went kerblooie, all users were totally screwed.

    The cloud thing isn't a bad idea, i'm not saying that, but I don't think it's the best solution for non-business users.

    Now if it gets a WoW port, that might be different, but now I'm just being silly.

    If it's as good in OS X as it is in Windows, I'd download it posthaste. I've all but stopped using Firefox since I downloaded Chrome. Much much faster, smaller memory footprint, and much more stable. Though I do miss AdBlockPlus, XMarks, citation resource plug-ins and small things like that. Overall, Chrome handles things better than FF.

    When I get my hackintosh up and running, you can bet I'll be installing this. #google

    this has actually been around for a month or two now - if I'm not mistaken, this isn't the official google-made chrome OS, but rather a fan-made project created using Suse Studio. #googlechrome

    With Safari working so well on OS X, and Firefox providing the lion's share of custom options with Camino lurking somewhere in the bushes, I wonder how much adoption Chrome would even see on Mac.

    @Kaiser-Machead: there is the curiosity factor. google's offerings generate buzz, and for that alone, many people will at least try it out.
