I have installed Chrome OS on one of my laptops. Well, it feels like Ubuntu GUI the first time i use it. It is pretty much very basic.

Chrome OS is just another rebranded Linux GUI, it would be much better if Google came up with an OS that would directly compete with Windows.

i tried Chrome OS and it is pretty much like a scaled down version of Ubuntu. Chrome is just based on Linux and there is nothing new about it.

If it:

a) is an instant-on type OS, especially one that can hand off to something like Ubuntu or OS X (or, yes, even Windows)
b) has a Dalvik or Java type runtime for portable apps (even if they’re not true native apps, like Dalvik and Java apps aren’t)
c) it runs on a convertible tablet netbook, esp. a 10″ one, like the EeePC T101

Then I’ll be VERY interested.

Otherwise … if it doesn’t have at least 1 and 2, I probably wont.

If this is another one of googles attempts to jump on the netbook bandwagon with some cheesy linux compilation, im not gonna bother with it. Ive never met a linux based “thing” that could give me a pleasant experience without having to jump through a few hundred flaming hoops if I wanted something out of the ordinary (like installing a program not initially included with the install ;’).

If its going to be as mediokre as their browser, its hardly going to be worth the parade. :’)

We do not want to spend most of the time in patching, patching and we need a good competetion. Let us wait and see. The Chrome OS is free.

Not so fast with all the happiness. Where the OS is Chrome, what happens to all of the Firefox users (catch and grab being a must on all mobility products these days), Safari users or even IE users? If MS proposed an OS that booted straight into IE, I’m sure Nelly would have had fire flaring from her nostrils, no? Can anyone name a Google software launch where everything was fully baked from the off? – I’m more circumspect. Yes, competition is good, but I’m going to wait and see before joining the parade.
