But not so fast as to upset too many people? Or maybe just caution in general? I confess I don't know ... these are just impressions from reading the FT article and then doing a few googles on chromium. But it could just as easily be simply an interim step to deal quickly with a security issue, or perhaps just the perception of a security issue? Unidentified/unofficial sources ... well, identified/official sources are questionable enough what with hidden agendas and all, aren't they? But let's set that all aside for now, please, and ask, if I may ...
Is anyone using Chromium? Thoughts? Well, one from me ... nothing is store on your computer ... so your computer becomes a thin client, right? So they glossed over where stuff is stored in the videos, but the answer is, of course, on someone else's computer, right? You comfy with that? All kind of warm and fuzzy? I'd be very interested in your thoughts/feelings (Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with MS or G, of Apple for that matter, and I don't make a living from any of these, or even from Linux/Unix (anymore).) Further disclaimer: They did mention that ChromiumOS was for people who mostly worked on the Web ... I do a lot of that, it is true, but not entirely, so maybe I don't fit the preferred ChromiumOS target audience? Still, I am curious.
