Windows alternatives: Chrome OS or Ubuntu? | |

Last week, I spent a few days with a beta version of Chrome OS on a prototype notebook provided by Google. In other words, I lived in the Chrome browser and used Google Apps for about 72 hours. The experience wasn't half bad -- assuming a reliable 24/7 Wi-Fi or 3G connection. | ||

There are good things about the Chrome OS, but what scares me is the cloud.
I've read that this beta laptop won't boot unless connected. Even my smart phone (Android) works without wi-fi. The thought of having all storage on the cloud gives my shivers. As a secondary unit it might work, but it needs to be bootable without a connection. |

There is no choice here, Ubuntu! FTW!
Why you ask? Install Virtual Box and run any flavor of Windows you want. :) This post was edited by awiltfong on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 07:29. |

| I think 2011 is going to be the first year in over decade where no one says "xxxx is the Year Of Linux". |
