Doesn't Google realize netbooks have been on the decline? It's really hard to see what they hoped to do with Chrome OS.

Yet another Google overachievement. They think their sh*t doesn't stink and continue to try and dip their hands in EVERY cookie jar BUT.............a Google netbook with Google OS is sh*t and stinks to high Hell. What a failure!

Please don't tell me that any of the smart people that regularly post on AD would be dumb enough to buy into this soon-to-be failed crap.

Apple has 3% of the market and Google thinks this will succeed with .00001% of the market.

Ummmm........no..........Apple may be a success but this certainly won't be.
