Official Google Blog: Releasing the Chromium OS open source project - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009...
It's not surprising, really, but it does have some level of excitement associated with it. The question for users, in my opinion, is whether or not they will want to postpone purchasing a netbook until the Chrome OS is fully functional or if they will go ahead and buy a netbook of some ilk before this is ready. One additional note, according to Read/Write Web, they were running the demo of Chromium OS at the press conference today on an Asus EEE PC. - Jill O'Neill
I don't understand. Has Google become such an icon that, if you have use for a netbook, you'd *really* wait a year (or more) for an OS from a company that's never built an OS, when you can buy one now with your choice of two very stable OS's, one of them open source? (And if you *don't* have use for a netbook now, why buy one no matter what the OS is? They're great tools but they're expensive toys and nowhere near as shiny as iTouches or smartphones.) - Walt Crawford
Well, much depends on whether you hate Microsoft or understand Linux, doesn't it? I work primarily on the Web as opposed to working on a hard drive (or at least I prefer to).

Walt --> another useful source of information from the press conference is here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog... - Jill O'Neill
Jill: At this point, it's really not about how wonderful Chromium might be, when it's released. If it's that great, you can replace W7 Basic or XP or Linux with it down the road. Otherwise, you're really saying "the question for users is whether current netbook OS choices are so awful that they'll postpone purchasing a useful tool for a year in hopes of something better." VERY different question, I think. But, as always, YMMV. - Walt Crawford
