Google With all the recent hype surrounding Google's Chrome, it's refreshing to see someone taking a few steps back and looking at the bigger picture. Superlatives were abound about Chrome (I personally really like it), but some people really took it overboard - take TechCrunch for instance: "Chrome is nothing less than a full on desktop operating system that will compete head on with Windows." Seeing my nationality, I know a tulip mania when I see one. So does Ted Dziuba.

An OS directly deals wih the hardware as the host of your applications. With Chrome, and all other Web browsers, you need an OS to host that! Even if the theory of a WebOS was true, would you entrust your Hardware to the Web? Imagine the exploitation possibilities!
