You just echoed my thoughts there.
The article was interesting to read for me too... am not interested in trying that out.
I am not interested in trying out the Google OS either.
The concept of cloud computing does not interest me. First, the system has to be connected to the internet always... and can't work offline. Further, I wouldn't trust any cloud with my data being over there, rather than being on my hard disk, on my system.
I don't know if Google OS is going to be that popular. Apart from the above points... they say that they are targeting the OS for notebooks. So, this OS is more of use to the people who are always on the go, and do most of their work online. Then, the OS would not support all hardware... that is also another disadvantage.
But well, you never know what this might turn into... since its open source now, and open to the community... and you can expect surprises from Google always.
