Google Chrome OS Will Fail?

I don't think it will Fail per say, but I don't think it will have all the bells and whistles they hope for it to have.
Definitely worth a try though.
 
I dont think it will Fail,I just think that it wont be as good as its made out to be,It will be just another distro of linux,exept probably have some sort of icons/bar for Youtube,Google,Google earth etc and thats about it.

and hardly use any system resources....whic is why it will be good for the Netbooks.
 
It has not be tested and proven a good OS. I don't think it will be anything special unless google does to Linux what Apple did to Unix. We will have to wait and see.
 
Something makes me thing that Google will become like Microsoft.
Microsoft started as a producer of programming software, then they bought MS-DOS and made it as it would be their own software, later created windows at the beginning a GUI for DOS, later a standalone OS. After conquering the PC business, made the Xbox, made their own network (MSN), their own search engine to compete with google (windows live), their own email services (MSN, Hotmail), an OS for mobile devices etc.

Google started with a search engine, then created their own email service (Gmail), their own OS for mobiles (Android), their own browser (Chrome) and now their own OS for the Netbook. I bet that after Chrome OS, they will try to make one for the ordinary PC user to replace Windows.

When google will completely conquer the internet business, that won't be enough, just like Microsoft.

Now Microsoft is going down. Not long before google will as well, maybe about 10 years from now on.
 
As of today however, Microsoft still remains to mostly be competing against itself. The closest to an opening for other operating systems would involve netbooks running Linux, and 80% of consumers don’t know what that is. They’ve never heard of it, will create a prejudice that it is confusing and will re-enforce it all with the fact that it is from a company they have never heard of.

Google is here to change that. Everyone knows of Google, either on par or more popular than the company name Microsoft. Millions have used their services (Google Search, Google Docs, Google Mail) and many will have accepted them as being a respected software company that will make high quality products that are easy to use. So as a standard consumer, to be presented with software from a company that they have never heard of, or to be presented with software from Google – many will correctly assume what the consumer will go for.

So that summaries my opinion - Google can just replace the aims of Linux as far as netbooks go.
