It's a real computer, it's just that people haven't written a lot of software for it. What kind of software can't you write for Chrome OS?

  Photoshop.

    What's that Frenchy open source photoshop called again?

      You're thinking KRITA probably. Germany though I believe, because of the GMBH thing on its group. Krita really bogs on my system when using painting tools so ready for primetime, I think not. But hey I've been wrong before. The best photoshop / Illustrator replacements underway right now are coming from Serif Software under the name Affinity. Not opens source BUT definitely going to make a dent in Adobe's fat head.

        It is possible to write software like photoshop for ChromeOS, thus it is a real computer. It's just that no one has. Nobody has written this kind of software for Plan 9, and a computer with Plan 9 is still a real computer.

          Spending a grand on a piece of machine that people rarely write software for is a bit of a pickle.

            I agree with you, but this is a different argument.

      You might as well just link to a Chrome-compatible VNC client and say it can run anything.
