I think in your case, your right, Chrome OS doesnt fit.
But eventually there will be Web apps as good as the local programs for doing what you want: BitBucket, for example, could launch an online editor that integrates with them.
Think how much people use the internet, email and chat. I use my netbook almost exclusively for those things - and I dont think I am alone.
- iamelgringo 17y agoBut I can do internet, email and chat using any one of the major OS's out there now. What could a web OS do better than a regular OS + browser now?
- ErrantX 17y agoUmm.... no overhead. Slicker integration... I really do think you are missing the point mainly due to being a power user / hacker. A lot of my friends who are casual computer users a) have netbooks and b) are a perfect target market for this. Some are already asking me about Chrome OS with interest. Try to think of it as if your a joe user with little technical knowledge.
