- ninguem2 16y agoI was under the impression that both ChromeOS and Android were just Linux distros, not new OSs.
- cryptoz 16y agoComputers. You know, the ones with keyboards and mice.
- gloob 16y agoHow nineties.
- jsz0 16y agoThat's the part that confuses me. Computers are traditionally more powerful and flexible than SmartPhones / tablets but a computer running ChromeOS is actually more limited than an iOS or Android device at this point.
- wtallis 16y agoThen think about it in terms of form factor and input devices: computers have physical keyboards and indirect relative pointing devices. Tablets and smartphones are touch-based, with (so far) no haptic feedback and lower precision of pointing, but the advantages of direct pointing.
- NZ_Matt 16y agoMost computer users are not powerusers and they don't need a powerful PC or OS. Current operating systems are over complicated for casual users and limitations work as an advantage for people like my parents. They shouldn't need to understand what a file system is, everything should just work in the background.
- Maro 16y agoIn the consumer space, they're on the way out, pads are taking over.
- roadnottaken 16y agoNetbooks and notebooks.
- wmf 16y agoDon't forget the bastard Google TV OS (it's Android, but not as we know it).
- ass 16y agothis is the worst thing eswat has posted yet.
