A web browser cannot pass as a full-fledged OS, even less so for people like Southperry users who want to play games. If you could dual-boot into Windows and have Chrome OS as an instant-on partition, then I could see the use.
There's no doubt that cloud computing is going to become more important in the next few years, but Chrome OS feels like being trapped in a hot-air balloon over the ocean.
AFAIK Southperry users have other interests besides playing games, perhaps new technology (cloud, anyone?) comes as an interest to some (like me). I have a desktop for games.
Anyway, it's possible to dual-boot. Chrome OS is too limited to keep just that on there. I need Linux or Windows.
