LOL....riiiiight.
And we'll never need more than 640k of memory, or more than three, maybe four mainframes?
I'm still waiting to see that mythical open-source Exchange killer.
Google jumped the shark some time ago. Now they’re just annoying.
You are against cloud computing?
What a load of bollocks, Google Chrome OS, yeah, whatever.
Gee that makes me more likely to switch to Google.
Wow, what arrogance. Central control of the OS? Not gonna happen.
Would you want all of your personal financial and medical information kept "in the cloud"?
I’m no fan of Windows, but having a “better” OS than windows is hardly going to be enough to displace 60% of the Windows market anytime soon. One could argue, depending on your frame of reference, that there are already “better” OSs than Windows, both on the desktop and server platforms.
Heck, IE has sucked rocks for the better part of a decade, and it still dominates the browser market in the corporate world.
People held on to Exchange 5.5 and Windows NT for years after they were replaced by “better” MS versions - and that was a whole lot easier proposition to sell to management than a completely new, and largely untested, OS from a company that hasn’t exactly been a friend of business.
I sure like my new HTC Evo Cellphone/small handheld web browser/small handheld PC.
Android, it is.
I somehow can’t see Chrome OS doing enterprise level data warehousing, database, mail server, web server, perhaps I’m just myopic but claiming it to be the end of sysadmins is clearly insane.
There is one evil and hideous female sys admin I would love to see get a pink slip for all of the stuff she has done to various people including me over who knows how many years.
There is no way I'm letting Obamaware from Google anywhere near my IT infrastructure.
I'm against know-it-all companies that are putting out mediocre products, ruining the products they previously excelled at, and have two-faced managers who stupidly shoot their mouths off.
Isn't everyone, except those who would be empowered at our expense by the possession of our data? Being for cloud computing is like being for bigger government.

Was in response to your #7 and I posted it to one of the responses.
I really don't relish the idea of having to buy anti-virus software for my TV, or having to wait for security updates to be installed before I can turn on the tube to see a breaking news story.
No responsible IT department is going to permit Google to decide when to update their apps or OS. Any who decide to axe the SAs will get what they deserve.
