The year was 2004. Windows Vista and iPhone were 3 years away, iPod mini was 1 year away.
Also, Chromebook is not that bad, is it? Chrome OS is almost fully free (I am not sure about the details and the difference between Chromium OS and Chrome OS though). Much better than Windows XP back then.

- AnthonyMouse 14y agoYour data is less free on someone else's disk than on your own disk. That's really what you're getting at. But that isn't OS-dependent. You can just as well manage to Facebook yourself all up using Windows. Meanwhile you can use Chrome OS to access network services on your own personal server and not use any cloud vendor at all. What you're really complaining about is the lack of good, easy to use personal servers, which makes the unavailability of client-local storage encourage you to be dependent on cloud vendors. But that's a separate issue from an OS that somewhat sensibly discourages you from keeping important and possibly sensitive files on a non-redundant portable device which is easily damaged or stolen and has no automatic backups.
