Warning: The "What is Google Chrome OS?" video embedded there is astonishingly patronizing. I have difficulty believing that there is a single person in the world who both (1) will be interested in the a-year-before-it's-ready open-source release and (2) will not be infuriated by it.

Amen, it ends with the word anyways. Terrible.

I for one thought it was cheeky and funny, and think it would be a nice video to show my non-programmer friends. Perhaps you shouldn't take everything you see on the internet personally?

At your Chromium OS launch party, perhaps?

Also relevant: "Hello, open source developers. Would you like to help build an operating system for web users?" http://blog.chromium.org/2009/11/hello-open-source-developer...

Now if only somebody could build a nice image that I could run in VMWare...

I can't believe they're using mandatory access control. It's the most eye-glazing security mechanism ever IMHO.

Yeah... What's the implication of that? If someone wants to bother my PC, they either have to log in themselves or get full access to all my private stuff? On one hand, I can have my stuff everywhere, but on the other hand, if all we had were OS's like this, wouldn't we have a world where nobody can do anything online anonymously? Seems like that could be bad... maybe I just misunderstand...
