    Default Offline capabilities of Chrome OS

    As I understand it, Chrome OS will be mainly for web apps on a server somewhere.
    But what about programs with vast amounts of plugins, like Photoshop for example.
    Will there be a comparable image editor on their server, or will offline integration be made possible for our favorite apps?
    I guess there are many questions about the much anticipated OS that will only be answered when it arrives.

    I guess it has Google Gears and that new browser sandboxing technology which is/will be in Chrome to run native (and hardware accelerated) code security in the browser. So there probably will be a lot offline features so you don't have to be connected all the time.

    But I don't think something like photoshop is the target market for this. Running photoshop in a browser seems, for now, a crazy notion; we need a lot more mature technology for that I would imagine.
