I was incredibly excited for Chrome OS and got one of the free CR-48s from Google. I like the OS, but thought it was too slow to actually use. I web browse a little harder than most people, and the CR-48 regularly bogged down not only on flash, but on complex javascript like Google Docs. It was just too slow for me to be comfortable on it -- and at the time, my other computer was a laptop running Windows with a Pentium M 1.5 GHz.
