Will need constant internet connection. W/o net, no apps function and no data available.

All data stored on someone else's server - Google mostly. Accessible to hackers, law enforcement, businesses, absent protection either legal or technical.

Makes much of the PC irrelevant. Doesn't matter if have a hot processor, big drive, lots of ram, fast bus. Just a fast net connection and graphics. Maybe not even the latter if rendering and physics done on the server, though latency seems an obstacle to serious gaming.

No MSFT means not need x86 ie not need INTC. Can use ARMH.

How will GOOG make money on Chrome O/S? Advertising model? So have to see advertising in your apps? Selling data model? Subscription model?

Seems should be lot less vulnerable to malware since the apps are all running on server farm under supervision of a real IT team. Billy can't download and install the malicious app from Russia on his PC anymore.
