"Put differently, in more concrete and less aesthetic terms, Apple and Microsoft began decades ago with "the PC," and they're currently involved in a slow and painful process of trying to stretch and push "the PC" out towards the Internet and towards a more useful and integrated relationship with the cloud as a new type of server. Google, on the other hand, began with the Internet, and it presumes the cloud in everything it does. With Chrome OS, the company is now trying to push and stretch the Internet back down onto "the PC" as just one of a growing range of cloud clients. Google acknowledged that it will eventually move Chrome OS to laptops and conventional PCs, so the Chrome OS portable is just Google's first battle in a long, ambitious campaign to thoroughly cloudify the entire computing experience."
