The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web.

*Sigh* This is not going to make any impact any time soon.

Who here would install an OS where you have to go online to type a Word document? Imagine how much bandwidth this OS will use...

Google can't even keep GMail up 99.9(Whatever)%, now they want our whole lives in the cloud. Crazy and impractical (at the moment).... in the future *maybe*
 
Thought they already had gOS which was based on ubuntu
 
They have been a-buzz for years now. Google have been talking about this ... well basically... forever.

Yeah it's a little strange since android is an OS for devices including netbooks, while this is a more web based OS. I see it as a traffic OS to keep people connected to google... not my cup of tea.

Not gOS, thats a different project from someone else. They have however been running a customised Ubuntu internally for years now.
