Google has a new OS. Yes an OS. It is called Google Chrome OS. The laptop this new OS was put on is the Chromebook. It isn't manufactured by google, it is manfufactured by Samsung and Acer. This OS is strickly a browser, it has no desktop nor harddrive. Everything you would do on different programs in Windows or Mac you do online with Google Chrome OS. Every thing you save is saved online. When youlog into this computer you just use a gmail account or a guest e-mail account. The only programs you can run on this computer are those offered through Chrome apps. Also they will only be sold with Wi-Fi only, or with Wi-Fi with wireless data from verizon. How stupid is this?
