Which, you still didn't answer my question. If you're not so into cloud, why use Google Chrome OS? Wasn't that basically what you're NOT going to use?

i hope the startup  is the fastest..

maybe it's time for SSD? 

The fact that Google Chrome crashes often is not gonna convince me to try Chrome OS. lol.

i will be sad if window 8 come out really soon. $$

If you just want to try, why you will need to pay? Windows starting from Windows Vista offers 30-days, full functionality evaluation.

can it beat android os?

what do u mean that??

RC got extra time??

btw,android os also is one of computer os besides handphone o tablet pc...

refer this link..android os is one of linux distro too besides ubuntu,linux mint,redhat etc...

You must know that Alpha, Prebeta, Beta, RC are all unfinished softwares. Even though, for example Windows 7 allow you to use for up to one year, it's not finished, contain bugs and security holes. I'd rather use the limited 30-days final version for evaluation instead of using any unfinished RC as Microsoft no longer provide updates after the period is up.
Google Chrome OS is nowhere near Windows. Cloud-based system with few "apps" available. For anyone who are just surfing the Internet, opening and editing basic documents etc maybe can live fine with it, but for a full-blown computer experience, even Linux is way better.

Indeed Android is based on Linux, but it's optimized for use on mobiles/tablet and the kind. I would really love to see you use Android on your desktop or laptop and report back about your experience here

Stable or not that's another thing to consider. How would you respond if your personal desktop/laptop get infected with viruses which (let say) steal all your personal/banking information, who you'd blame? You can't blame Microsoft. RC serve its purpose as candidate for the final release, and does not deserve to be on your computers more than when its intended to.

I'm not buying the Chrome OS fud, it just won't work for me anyway.

New security features + Beta/RC = not finished = how do you protect yourself? Not your concern? Good luck

Sure, each security measures made up will be cracked, it's just a matter of time. But which would you choose, RC with longer period of evaluation but with security holes that WON'T be patched, or RTM with shorter (but still expandable) period of evaluation but with security holes fixed along the way?
If you would want to try, take the final version, much more completed, most bugs ironed out, if not, you can still use Windows Update. If 30 days is not enough, there's always the rearm trick to extend the evaluation up to three times, 30 days each.

That updates are only specific to RC. All other updates released after the RC expired does not apply to RC, so you will still vulnerable to not yet (found and) fixed vulnerability.
Minor? There's quite some major bugs in RC, one of them being able to get admin privileges on standard account. Softwares as big as an operating system like Windows which is target for hackers will need updating. If you continue to use non-updateable RC version, of course hackers can take control of your system easily than one using final up-to-date version of Windows 7.
Email address is only required for profiling with Microsoft, it doesn't have anything to do with usage of Windows 7 evaluation. Plus I'm not using the Windows 7 Enterprise 90-days evaluation, I just take the ISO from my TechNet subscription and install as usual.

That bug works with standard (limited) user accounts, giving them privileges like an admin. Eh no man, this just for the sake of sharing information and discussing things, no harm intended

My blog? It's down for the moment and I don't have the mood to resume it, at least for now. Need to find time to get it back up

Yeah, doing blog requires mood, if no mood then how to publish good articles? Right?

then,when u change to win8,u will very2 satisfy...

it might worth to buy if they include some from Copenhagen Concept

An UX concept as seen here. It is intuitive and fresh, but take note that all these will requires the main component to be rebuild from scratch using WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and too bad this kind of interface will consume lots of RAM and graphic processing power, which will left out those users with system 2 or 3 years ago behind. Concept is a concept, and rarely gets into the real thing, unless it's really good and the team can make it. Just look at those Longhorn concepts, it's all interesting (and fresh at that time) but in the end, it's all scrapped because of lack of times (due to development reset) and problem integrating it to the OS core.

If you want it to be more greener, then UX concept such as the one mentioned above cannot be used.

nice concept..that will keep our 6GB ram useful..hehe..
for me win 7 is like win XP=lite
Win vista=Win 8..transition too much..dun bash me,just a earlier opinion..

Transition is too much? Have you forget that upgrading from XP to 7 is too much? Hmmmm? No?

And no, I'm not bashing you.

Still, transition from Vista to 7 is not that much, but from XP to 7 is. And judging from early Windows 8 build shown at CES, there won't be that much of a transition between 7 to 8. And also yes, Windows 8 would be compatible for ARM processors.
