Don’t worry about those desktop apps you think you need. Office? Meh. You’ve got Zoho and Google Apps. You won’t miss office. Chrome plus Gears plus Google Wave plus HTML 5and web platforms like Flash and Silverlight all combine into a single wonderful computing device. The Internet Is Everything. All the OS has to do is boot the damn computer, get me to a browser as fast as possible and then stay the hell out of the way.

Chrome will do just that. And it will be free, unlike Windows. Forget the netbooks, which Google is targeting initally. We’ll see PCs of all types being sold by the major manufacturers as soon as Google gets this out of beta next year. Microsoft has a very serious competitive threat to the core of their revenues.

I much prefer XP!

I paid $359 for my copy of Windows Vista when it came out in 2005. $49 to upgrade to 7 is nothing.

2 Years ago

Vista is a dog.  The can have my XP when the prise it out of my cold, dead fingers!

Erik: Windows 7 is faster than XP on the same hardware.
