Three words: Less is more.
No bloat, so it should run on low-end hardware, and blaze on modern hardware.
How many processes do you currently have running as you browse this? And, how many of them are necessary to your being able to do so?
- orangecat 17y agoHow many processes do you currently have running as you browse this? Lots, but my CPU is over 95% idle so I don't quite see where the huge performance increase is going to come from. It just seems like you could get almost all the alleged benefits of Chrome OS with a simple shell for Windows or Linux that runs the browser and nothing else on login.
- fauigerzigerk 17y agoThere will be no performance increase, but computers might cost just 5% of what they cost now (probably not quite, because of the display).

It does seem so. And indeed, that's what Chromium OS is. Essentially a new distro with their own browser-based desktop manager. http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/software-architecture http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/s...
