Why wouldn’t you use google chromium os?
I experimented with google chromium last night for a bit and kindda like it. I am thinking of some ideas that i would like to implement in google chromium based on the response i get on this post. So everyone please answer the following questions to help me.
Why wouldn’t you use google chromium os?
Or more specifically what is it that you miss in google chromium?
What features would you like to be implemented?
Have you used Google Wave? Do you like the idea of dashboard/showcase applications?
Have your used WebOS? What do you feel about their future?
Do you like thin clients? Would you prefer having a phone and doing all tasks from it with the same speed as from laptop?
What are your day to day use top 10 desktop applications?

Another good idea! http://www.chromiumos64.com/
But it will complete different path from end user perceptive.
You can also hack pfsence, m0n0wall and freenas for web UI for make them more powerful out of box. I will not suggest you to use webmin or usermin.

Okay, let me answer myself now…
I wont use google chromium because its still too early, though the idea is no doubt awesome and i bet i won’t be able to resist it forever but that time will come when google chrome has a lot of widgets. I was discussing it the other day with hexxeh and then some other guys on his channel, here is a clip from there:
so with that clip from my irc log on #hexxeh on irc.freenode.net i have give your whats my perspective on google chromium os.
