Also, no games. Go figure. If you want third party stuff, get Windows.

People still play games on PC?

This would be a very attractive option for somebody who wants a netbook and isn't huge on windows.

Good point! I personally consider netbooks useless until the time they can run something other then Windows XP. If this proves a viable alternative...

Perhaps this might dovetail with the Android platform and we might see Android apps migrated to the Chrome OS. Would give Google a viable chance against Apple in the mobile market.

Oh whoops, my bad. If it was a Mac, it would have 8 cores and 32GB of RAM.

I don't know why I keep getting these things confused.

Course, I'm buying both those games and running them on my PC desktop cuz it's got a better video card then my Macbook.

Macs are for being productive

Mostly because I have to be on Windows to run my games, so on a Mac no games = more productive.

I fully expect this to be in Beta for 5 decades so they dont have to take any responsibility for problems.
