Changed my mind about Chrome OS after finding out it will be based on cloud computing, "all your files belong to us". No thank you to cloud computing, hosting my e-mail is enough. I don't need you to host any document I write or manage my pictures either.
They, the powers to be including Microsoft like the idea of cloud computing. It gives them more control and they envision a day that they can charge you a monthly fee just to use you computer. Bill Gates stated back in the late eighties I think that he envisioned a day that we would pay MS a monthly service fee just like you pay for your electric bill, I'm not kidding. MS has tried various techniques over the years to get a foothold in that idea but all have fizzled out. Now Google wants to jump aboard, may they fizzle out too.
