Will be interesting to see where this goes. Anyone remember BeOS? I didn't think so.

Not for me I'm afraid. Firefox does everything I need from a browser and more. So far it has been trouble free and it is well established.

Hi Bob,

It's not a browser, it's an operating system, i.e. a complete replacement for Windows.

It's Google's challenge to Microsoft. Everything you do on your computer would be web-based -- when you save a file it would actually be saved on Google's servers instead of on your own hard disk.

Let's hope no-one puts a JCB through the phone cable. :)

Martin.

Hello Martin,

Don't know why I didn't realise that Martin. Bit early in the morning perhaps. I have been running Windows 7 for about a month now and I have to say I can't find anything to complain about with it. It's almost like running XP with a few little extras. No sign of Vista I'm pleased to say. It's just as if Vista was all a bad dream, or nightmare I should say. I have nothings against Google but I don't think I would care to trust all my information to the web.

Bob

Definitely not something that would float my boat either.

Oh wow, I can just see how the hackers would love to have a go at that.
