>Windows is pretty entrenched. Even if the Google OS manages to make inroads into the Windows market share I'm not sure we will be much better off. Google seems to be becoming the new Microsoft -- same huge war chest, same sharp elbows. There is nothing cuddly about them. Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss....

The thing I don't like, is that they intend (from what I read....) for everything to be done in the "Cloud"..... so.....

your data and apps exist elsewhere.... that I don't like at all !

Considering what happened this weekend (the DOS attacks against the US Government and South Korea - which were highly effective!! and still ongoing....)... I'd hate to see what would happen to the economy if all the data and transactions were in the "Cloud" and the cloud was hammered......

Yikes!
