- It has a non-existent learning curve. If you can work with a browser, you can work with a Chrome OS device
- The device requires no maintenance. No security updates, no application installs, no operating system patches, media codecs, ...
- It is fast. Really fast. Booting is under ten seconds. Resume from sleep modus is instantly.
- It is interchangeable. All your data lives in the cloud. You have everything available whether you are in your browser on your 'classic' Desktop OS or on your Chrome OS device.
- It is cross-platform. You are not locked in to one 'app framework' like iPhone apps or Android apps. Every website is a potential application for Chrome OS.
The first real notebooks running Chrome OS are expected in mid 2011. I hope someone will also commercialize a nettop/desktop device running Chrome OS. I know at least two computers in my home that could be immediately replaced by a Chrome OS device.
