Hopstretch Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 It's about time somebody got rid of X. $10 says we're shortly going to start hearing from Microsoft again about those alleged patent violations in the Linux kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceboy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Is Google's claim about the OS security idiotic? Article about Google's security OS claim One more article: Will Google's OS Make the Desktop safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 We had 0day for Chrome the second it was publically released. Literally that second. The same will happen for ChromeOS, I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strid3r Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It's impossible to create a 100% secure OS. The best you can do is design it with security in mind and hope it covers most of the bases and to hope that new holes are discovered quickly and patched effectively. As far as I'm concerned, this new OS is just another Linux distro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 If it's a "lite" Linux Kernel with a new web-based window system, what will there be for apps? I can't see this going too far, in all honesty. Though it may get my old PIII-1GHz system back from the dead Liked the Fake Steve article, pretty good and funny stuff. Asus started something good with their first netbook, but the main complaint I tended to hear (aside from power) was the cheap interface. Even when folks were installing full Linux on it, it was still a niche. Netbooks started getting bigger once companies put WinXP on it. Sorry, but that's what the masses are used to. Browser interface may be better than that first Asus machine interface, but I'm thinking it still won't be enough. Heck, if MS is so scared, they can probably offer a lite version of their own (aren't they doing it on the OLPC initiative anyway?), and the sheep will buy that.
