Oh, of course, there's already a Wikipedia page for ChromeOS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_os
"Google has stated that the Chrome OS is separate from its
Google Android operating system, which was designed primarily
for use on smartphones."
I didn't realize they were limiting Android in that way.
Google wants to replace XWindows with something new for
ChromeOS. It's about time something replaced that poor old
dinosaur.

Pretty well. When I travel, I use Skype to avoid missing my wife so much. Works well. Ditto with videos. I mean, it's not the fastest machine on the planet, but it gets the job done.tansy wrote:how does the eee do for things like skype, hulu, videos, etc. ?

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Whoever created and now runs the "Super 8" motel chain can't have ever said the name out loud, for instance.s1m0n wrote:How long did it take them to notice that "wince" didn't have quite the right cachet?fearfaoin wrote: In response, Microsoft created an OS called WinCE (now called Windows Mobile) ...
