Why Google Needs To Pull the Plug On Chrome OS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pull-tha-stringzz dept.

judeancodersfront writes "It's time for Google to realize that it is way too early to be pushing an OS that only provides a browser. If Chrome OS fails on netbooks it will just make OEMs even more hesitant to use a Linux-based OS instead of Windows. Google should instead build upon its already successful Android platform and provide a system that offers local applications."

    And if you are doing a strictly web browser like computer and don't want to use Windows, why not just build a netbook or computer with pre-installed Linux?

    What, exactly is an iPad if not a "netbook with pre-installed Linux"?
