[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 947534, member: 24098"] Not to get off-topic, but I think Chromium OS is exactly the kind of OS an always-on, always connected netbook platform needs. Think of it like a bridge between a smartphone and a standard notebook. I don't see Apple going down that path, as they have always catered to the high-end of the market - at least not with the Mac line. If anything, the rumored tablet would function more in that niche. And again, Chromium OS is a niche product. It's not looking to replace full on PCs (and I use the PC in the general sense, not the mainstream sense), nor will it ever. But for the on-the-go, always connected business traveler, for whom a Smartphone isn't enough for crunching spreadsheets or working on large documents, this style of OS may be a good fit. [/QUOTE]
