Google Releases Chrome OS Tablet Concept Demo

MojoKid writes "With all of the iPad buzz stirring up the tech world over the past couple of weeks, Chrome OS has almost been forgotten. Though Google has yet to officially release the netbook-centric operating system to the public, the company continues to keep details flowing about their forthcoming lightweight operating system. In their own response to all the recent tablet fanfare, Google decided to release some teaser shots and a demo video of the Chrome OS running on a concept tablet device. The Chromium team suggests that a screen of 5" to 10" is optimal for enjoying Chrome OS and of course tablets, netbooks and MIDs all fit that size class rather well. Couple a streamlined Google-based OS with NVIDIA's Tegra 2 processor in a design like this and the iPad could have serious competition."

    Lately I have witnessed an explosion of Troll mods on things which are clearly not trolls. Let me help you failed moderators understand: "Troll" means saying something you do not believe in order to elicit a desired response. The above comment is Flamebait at worst, but more realistically, it is insightful. Microsoft was actually convicted of anticompetitive behavior by the USDOJ, though Ashcroft gave Microsoft a free post-conviction pass. Some other nations have also found them guilty of anticompetitive practices, and they are not giving Microsoft any free passes. I can't speak to whether that's because they have realized that the world would be better off without Microsoft, or whether they simply see a chance to prop up their sagging economies with a nice little infusion of cash, but either way they are not amused.
