Chrome OS is a device not an OS...

[y eye]

"Google Chrome OS is not an operating system. It's a device, like the iPhone.

The consumer knows when he's been insulted. A new device's value proposition only works when its manufacturer demonstrates that it has at least as much faith in its consumer as it would ask that consumer to invest in it. That's why the iPhone works, that's why the first BlackBerrys worked, that's why the Macintosh worked, it's why the first Android devices are working, and that's why the Google Chrome device has already failed.

Chrome is Google's "Bob."

"But even then, history has shown that customers have only been willing to invest in devices or software that refrains from limiting their choices, whose clear and unequivocal benefits can be demonstrated, and where gains from making the choice and taking the leap are quantifiable and guaranteed." - From the article.


And yet this guy lists things like the iPod, the Mac and stuff like that yet they were all very limiting and their benefits not very pronounced and gains not very guaranteed. I sense much fail from the article's premise.
