Agree on the dogfooding.
<speculation>I think Google is planning a major attack on Microsoft's business / office empire. They have made it so simple to set up a new business using Google apps that it's almost unthinkable to me that I would go out and do an exchange setup. But this is largely still in stealth mode because Google wants to bring its business apps up to the point where they are a alternative to Office for real tasks before they really play this hand. And that means they have to force their employees to live on them every day, for everything. If they can't do it, how can they expect their customers to? And the best way to make it happen is to take away Windows entirely. Otherwise people will continue to fall back to Office and find reasons to sneak it onto their computers.</speculation>
- w1ntermute 16y agoThere's a major flaw in your logic - Google has already begun a major attack on Apple, but they're still allowing OS X on their campus.
- robryan 16y agoIn mobile computing, I don't see them making any push into the apple desktop/laptop/osx market. So I guess you make a valid point if they were giving their employees iphones over andriod ones which I doubt. I doubt they are looking at chrome OS to be a replacement for a full osx like operating system at any time in the near future.
