When the majority of classes are using the Browse activity (did we hear something like 70-80% ? ) it sounds like it would be wise to discuss ChromeOS and browser-based applications, possibly using a modern browser such a Webkit.
I seem to have heard that the current Browse Activity does not even have a maintainer assigned to it. That is a problem of resource availability Would introducing (and deploying, and maintaining) something like ChromeOS reduce the load on the resources available ?
I myself run a whole suite of Browsers on my XOs. For the websites I normally visit, there is very little difference among these browsers (that includes Browse). In particular, I have found neither the Chrome browser nor the Midori browser (which is Webkit based) to have better performance than Browse (when Browse has a good Flash plugin installed).
[The joker is Opera - its performance varies - sometimes it's the best.] mikus _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep
