gOs Cloud, the first browser based OS. Or is it?

Rumors keep surfacing, since the introduction of Chrome, that Google is developing an operating system to compete with Windows, Linux, and the Mac’s OSX.

Good idea? Or bad idea? Opinion seems mixed.

My recent experience in setting up a netbook (Asus EEE PC 701 with Linux) for my wife taught me something unexpected.

Asus certainly tried to strike a balance between simplicity and usability in their simple Linux based tabbed desktop, but, to be honest, it is still a lot more than many users need. It is certainly more than Carol needs…and one of my first tasks was to put the few icons she really does need (Mail, iGoogle to open her browser, print, and shutdown) on the favorites page.
