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."

    I think I will take my advice on Linux and Netbooks from an "independent .Net developer".

    NOT.

    Why was this "news" even posted? Slashdot editor fail.

    Jerkface Playhouse indeed.

    Well, I for one like this new egalitarian Slashdot that will publish any random moonbat's frothy diatribe purely in order to troll us into dissecting it.

    We bite every time, but isn't that how we like it? Be honest now, would you really want to read a cogently argued article that garnered nothing but "Yup" and "Seems right" responses?
