How you are gonna use Chrome OS? Are you gonna install Chrome on the cafe

AFAIK, Chrome is not a web OS. It is a desktop OS
How about this? Pay 10-20 bucks at an internet cafe and use Google Chrome
OS? And did you forget viruses?
PS: Is this some sort of a flame war?

It's not hard to get a computer these days. So if you are travel often
then I suggest you to buy a laptop and forget about webservers.
Instead of giving money to google, give it to the laptop manufacturer,
who deserves it. You can use the same softwares in home as well as
outside. You can ssh into
Right... you have the choice!
If you have the money and resources to maintain a server, nobody is stopping
you. You can do it.
For a lot of others who don't have it can make use of google's.

Putting your software on somebody else's server is a service provided to you by
that somebody else. It is your software that is running, you code it, modify it
or do whatever you want with it. They serve you by keeping your software
up-to-date, free from viruses, accessible from anywhere in the

Finally, if you don't recognize your freedom, you won't value it. If
you don't value your freedom, you won't defend it. If you don't defend
your freedom, you are going to loose it. Like this.
You don't value your freedom. That's the reason you are thinking about
silly conveniences like chrome.

For a simple reason, its nice to have your own OS with you wherever you're
going. (At least where there is internet)
And I think this is can be attributed as a triumph for FOSS that such an
idea is coming to realization. I don't think Google would have even thought
of something like this if a free

It seems like a lightweight linux OS which runs Google's window manager.
This window manager will be (like) a web browser. I guess that there will be
a
GUI to configure network.
Smells like geekbox's idea; Mediap
Yes. Many people tell that it is very good idea. But no matter if it
is free or not, you are not in control of your computing. I think
google is the No:1 in providing these kind of nasty services. I heard
that google docs do the same. But this OS is new to me. Thank you for
letting me know about it

What? Someone being able to use OS running on another's server?

Yes. Ofcourse. But you are in control of your computing only if you
have your own licensed copy of the OS and run it on your computer.

Is it running on google's server. The name "Web Centered OS" seems to
be running in google's server and the users will get an interface. If
it is running on google's server then it doesn't respect your freedom,
