I would like to see a link to an article that is more balanced (too bad groklaw isn't around anymore). Does anyone have a more suitable source document for discussion?
Just look at their definition of Chrome OS. "Chrome OS is basically a crippled netbook that currently requires constant internet connection to function, and to allow Google data-mining and ad serving."
Last time I checked, Chrome OS was an operating system, not a netbook. And a netbook whose main job is to surf the web isn't a "crippled" netbook...it's just a netbook.
Not sure what browser you are using, but ads on the site are adsense ads, which do not "Launch" anything.
