Google OS

[cdave]

The Google Operating System is being targeted at netbooks, and the core of it will be Google's browser Chrome, and Google's Apps.

But the point of netbooks is surly their portability. You won't always have a net connection. You can't edit spreadsheets if the connection goes down, as I found out when trying to do some stuff on a train on a 3G connection.

See how much of the UK isn't covered by 3G.

I think you'd be better off sticking to a traditional office suite until they improve the offline support.

Is there not an offline aspect to Google Apps (Google Gears?)

3G is irrelevant to most people anyway. Data rates are too expensive. The ever growing number of Wifi hotspots is the real motivator for netbooks. That and being able to look up IMDB whilst watching TV.
