Suggestion: Chrome OS

[retro77]

Why not? Have an x86 OS that is designed from scratch. I bet its already in the works.

[Pronation]

Why is this a suggestion though? If it was/is going to happen it won't be based on Chrome the browser.

nah their already building a mobile OS if anything itll be based off that

[retro77]

Your thinking too narrow minded. It would be a "cloud" OS. Everything would be content that was pulled down. No more security patches, no more bugs, just clean running software running on PCs that are even less powerful than the current "netbooks".

Hey, it could happen.

It could happen. My major thing with "cloud" is that it's internet intensive.

There are multitudes of companies starting to put bandwidth caps on their services now, forcing people to slow down their usage.

Indeed, and what happens when your internet connection goes down for whatever reason? You've got no OS, no applications, and probably no data because that would all be stored remotely too.
Nah, call me a fascist but I like things the way they are thanks

Stuee, I see your point. Internet goes down, PC useless. Probably have to have a locally cached version.
