Really? Nope. Nope. Possibly. Nope.\u00a0 And, Nope.\u00a0 Just as David Coursey<\/a> is allowed an opinion, here goes an attempt at mine.<\/p>\n 1. Netbooks will be the world quicker then we will think.\u00a0 As mobile data increases in demand, so will the devices that deliver it.\u00a0 Though, it may not be in the tradition that we see today, but we will see either a more powerful cell phone or ‘netbook’ in the near future that will blow our minds in what we can do from our finger tips.\u00a0 Mainly the idea hit the shelf provided by Intel(for the most part) based on existing tech.\u00a0 Nvidia and other companies haven’t even had time to plan into this at all.\u00a0 Once they inject their hardware into the mix, we will see some serious power from these devices.\u00a0 Accountability won’t be measured from behind a desk but from whether you’re actually out there effecting your business and the data will be available at the finger-tips. All of it. I’m getting a bit evangelical here and conclude my rebuttal on your first item here.<\/p>\n 2. Whether the OS is free or not doesn’t seem to be a valid point then, if both can offer for free, then how is it even a failing point on Google’s part?\u00a0 Brand recognition is mainly their fuel and they weigh in MUCH heavier then Linux would by itself, IF they go that route.\u00a0 Notice this isn’t gOS, this is ChromeOS.<\/p>\n 3. Eh, true Google Docs would take some serious overhauling, but with integration into say OpenOffice.\u00a0 This could create a bridge between hardcore documentation and lightweight playtime with them.\u00a0 Hell, they could come up with something new?\u00a0 Wouldn’t be the first time.<\/p>\n 4. What? Just as the Palm Pre is built on the idea of real time feeds, I don’t see where Google Chrome would not be able to function in this lightweight environment from a netbook side.<\/p>\n 5. Ok, now I know you are a pretend techie nerd guy.\u00a0 WTF???\u00a0 There is a means to an end to get anything working for cross platform support, whether is be creating a virtual environment within VMWare on Windows to host a MAC OS X box, or VMWare Fusion for Apple.\u00a0 Linux does not fall short in the ability to create these same environments, Wine, VirtualBox, etc.\u00a0 Hell, stop the war, include MS Office in it!<\/p>\n I think that the simple idea of “Googling” could be enough brand recognition and allow folks another solid option other then Ubuntu as a platform to conduct day to day business.\u00a0 The average user doesn’t care what powers the device, it could be a fucking squirrel on a wheel inside the iPhone, they don’t care.\u00a0 Ah, a fruitless conversation I think.\u00a0 Too much is what if at this point and no one can draw a solid conclusion anyway.\u00a0 I will not rule anyone out at this point because it is a cut throat market and new players coming in do have a chance to take out anyone else in this radical environment.\u00a0 Which that being said, sadly this nimrod<\/a>, could be right.<\/p>\n Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Both posts are from a single source, but here they are to bring you up to speed if you don’t know what it all is. http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/businesscenter\/article\/168036\/google_set_to_take_on_microsoft_with_desktop_os.html 5 hours later… http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/businesscenter\/article\/168058\/five_reasons_google_chrome_os_will_fail.html Really?
