ChromeOS isn't a new OS. It's Linux running a web browser and a very simple desktop shell.
Windows is 30 years old. Rewriting it would throw away a lot of builtin value.
- reaperducer 8y ago"Built-in value" Translation: It's good enough. Why innovate? We still make money on it. It's like having a company van that breaks down all the time, but that's O.K. because, "It's paid for!" Meanwhile, your customers are getting increasingly impatient with your inability to meet their needs.

- wvenable 8y agoWindows doesn't break down all the time; I've had a continuous environment for like 2-3 versions of Windows now on my desktop. From 7 to 8.1 to 10. The fact is, I actually like a lot of the "legacy" stuff in Windows (the classic control panel, etc) and the new iOS/Android like stuff feels just as basic on Windows as it does in those operating systems. Windows gets better (and even smaller) with each release; what's not to like.
