During his keynote speech at the Worldwide Partner Conference, Steve Ballmer has dismissed Google's announcement of Chrome OS. "There's good data that says 50 percent of the time that someone's on their PC, they're not doing something with the Web browser," Ballmer said, suggesting that an ideal operating system would provide both rich online and offline integration. It is not sure yet what Chrome OS will exactly offer.

I agree with Ballmer this time. I don't often use a web browser when I work on my computer. There are plenty of activities that require a desktop application, and among which the best ones are Windows/Mac only. Apps that come to mind are related to photo editing, video editing, publishing software, applications that are not restricted to professionals anymore, especially with the YouTube and blogging generation. What would you do if you had only a web browser in your OS? You would need a dual-boot with Windows or a regular Linux distro (not just Google OS).
