you might not be able to install it, or log in without the internet.
I'll have to test that on a recent build.

Essentially its an OS for a cloud terminal, so you're running Google
Spreadsheet or whatever over the internet and not running a spreadsheet
app on the netbook itself.

There's talk of off-line data storage / file sync and the like. You do
have a full linux command line so installing stuff may be possible
however the idea is that the OS is secure and digitally signed for
security so I'll have to have a read and a play.....
