Sun even managed to create a Java only Os. But the whole thing went nowhere.
Chrome will probably never be able to do 3D, or very intense computing tasks, so I think the OS is still here to stay.
- PieSquared 18y agoYou're right, Chrome won't do 3d. But that doesn't mean you can't look at 3d things through Chrome. Didn't we have the about:internets article just a few days ago? Chrome isn't going to be an OS; but it might be a desktop environment. Which, to the casual user, is the same thing.
