- First, chrome OS is still very alpha software - Second, this guy will never be the audience for such an OS.
This certainly leaves the question, for who will this OS be for ? The fact of not even being able, by design, to have two windows visible at the same time is a show stopper for me.
I liked the tone of the review in the end, even if it irritated me at first. The guy is really telling what is bothering him with the os. Some small things, like the screenshot thing, just tells you that this os isn't finished yet.
Some other things, like the files thing, looks like a pointer to me, that google is vastly underestimating the importance of the local storage interface at the moment.
Even if some people don't really grasp the folder model that well (although that seems to be true only for older people now), it doesn't imply that you can take out local storage altogether and have something functionnally equivalent by plugging the "cloud" in.
The major problem i see with cloud storage at the moment is that for most people the local storage is still the link between a space of fragmented cloud storages, and that if you remove it, it really makes things harder more than easier.
