It’s not that I think Chrome OS is a terrible idea — although it’s certainly not the best use of Google’s time and focus — but that it’s completely overrated and being massively misreported by the press as being a serious competitor or threat to Windows and OS X, which is about as accurate as saying that a RAZR is a serious competitor to a laptop.
Agreed. Totally. Sure it will be interesting to see how Chrome OS will affect Microsoft’s and Apple’s roadmaps, but considering the way this thing treats web apps as native apps, to me this sounds more like further promotion and push for WebKit to be the standard browser engine than Google moving into the operating system market.
