Google is going for the kill...

Beginning of the end for Microsoft.

I think it's still not the end but it would make Microsoft think twice for their future plans on enhancing most of their applications especially on their web services and specifically on their pricing strategy.

Google OS might be good for netbooks/very old pc which are still great for web-surfing.

As for web-based apps........ I'll pass. I'm not the kind to trust anyone, even Google, with the security of my documents/information.

i agree its far from the end of microsoft. pero i know that companies (recently worked with a couple) are already using Google's business solutions, that includes its Web Apps.

Web-based apps are fine if security isn't a big concern. I might even use them myself for ordinary stuff.

But with ID theft such a big deal, I'd be very careful of what I upload to the web or store at someone else's servers.

For me, netbooks are entertainment devices. The lighter the OS, the better. I look forward to having the lightweight Google OS pre-installed.

and i agree with you on that too. im just saying that more companies are using google apps for their operations already.

i don't use netbooks myself; don't plan on getting one in the near future either.
