Chrome OS: one giant pink slip for sys admins.

LOL....riiiiight.

And we'll never need more than 640k of memory, or more than three, maybe four mainframes?

Sys Admins Going Down

I'm still waiting to see that mythical open-source Exchange killer.

Google jumped the shark some time ago. Now they’re just annoying.

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 thought it was impossible to surpass the sheer evil of Microsoft and Bill Gates. And then Google happened.

There is no way I'm letting Obamaware from Google anywhere near my IT infrastructure.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

...said that Chrome OS would be a computing platform stretching to hand-held devices, tablets and TVs

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.

I have been using google apps less and less. Their politics is the reason I wrote DougSearch.com

I am looking for a shorter and catcher name, but for now, it is ok while I improve the site.

I despise Google.
