You say that but the irony is Chrome OS holds the potential for IT departments to make your life even more miserable. One example... It's still reasonably difficult to document every single thing a user does on a PC. It can be done with key logging but it's a pain and even key logging solutions can miss things. With Chrome all you need is a browser extension. That same extension can be used to detect your phone on the USB port and deliver your CEO's full screen messages. So having everything in the browser actually provides IT departments with a level of control and monitoring they'd never have dreamed of before.

No extension. Block 443 , handle it at a network level.

>>irony is Chrome OS holds the potential for IT departments to make your life even more miserable That is, when IT Teams in those places themselves are aware of playing around well with those systems. IMHO, banks (like where jrockway is employed) or BigCorp Inc (where I am) have IT teams comprised of subcontracting teams with MCSE types, hired precisely because their CTC is far less than average. Am pretty sure most of those teams would never (or even allowed to) take the pain of hacking up and altering OSes for that company's needs (blocking USBs/CD-ROMs, limiting privileges to ridiculous levels etc), when they could do it the easy way in Win XP or Win 7 installations.
