Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot effort you put to make one of these excellent informative web site. I have learn a few good stuff here.

Sure Redhat and Canonical tried with some level of modest success for Fedora and Ubuntu. Now, we finally have the long awaited 8000 pound gorilla in the form of Google. What Chrome OS represents is Linux repurposed as a Cloud computing "Lean OS". Sure we can argue about Google's choice of UX, software architectural choices, etc, for version 1.0 of Chrome OS. But the crux of the matter is that the market is looking for leadership and legitimacy for the emerging class of low-cost small-factor thin-client cloud-computing hardware, and Google Chrome OS seems like the ideal candidate (and yes it will evolve as it goes). And I think Google is introducing Chrome OS at the right time, in time for the "perfect storm" of the start of devolution of the Wintel standard: a lethal combination of cheap power efficient ARM processors, Flash/SSD drives and Chrome OS, churned out by the faceless Chinese, Taiwanese, and the infamous Shanzai Ji cabal, churning out millions of these cheap devices. I christen this new standard the "CH-ARM" platform (for Chrome on ARM). I can see a few thousand Chinese and Taiwanese companies churning out these devices by the boatload (without having to pay the Microsoft tax) and flooding the market. The "CH-ARM" standard will overrun Asia first, and will eventually takeover the western markets as the standard for "ubiquitous casual computing" for the masses. Ultimately, the introduction of the Chrome OS marks the ultimate decline of the Wintel standard and its 25 year old reign.
