* http://www.technologyreview.com/web/22987/page1/ * http://daringfireball.net/2009/07/chrome_os_context Specifically this stood out to me - "From a user-level perspective, Chrome isnt going to look, act, or work anything like Windows. And thats why Google has a chance to make something that might actually prove popular in a way that Ubuntu hasnt." - http://daringfireball.net/2009/07/chrome_os_context Got me thinking about the UX of Google's O/S: * Obviously, what will it look like (have you started to visualize it?) * What would your expectation be for OS install time? * What happens when the PC is not connected or disconnects from the internet? (do applications still work? Is this an extension of Google Gears?) * Will extensions (as we know them in Firefox as add-ons to the browser) be extended into the web page (as tried with Active X controls?) * What design goals would you create if you were developing a OS UX from the ground up? * Other thoughts? rgds, Dan
