The real news here is that Google decided to use its own blog to release the news (after the NY Times started calling around.)

Also — it’s not a prepared press release from corporate communications but a missive from someone actually involved in the process.

Real users are still going to need a real os. The key here is the little fact most of us miss: a very high percentage of computers never do any real computing, they are simply internet browsers, email readers and electronic photo albums. They need to look good to do their primary tasks, but they don’t need 90% of the functionality built into a real computer.

That doesn’t mean that the Chrome OS won’t end up fully featured some day…

MS really needs to think about branding themselves as the OS that goes to work…it’d be the correct counter to the Apple ‘I’m a Mac’ ads, and it’d get them past this as well.

Of course they have no doubt countered with more than a few all day off site “blamestorms”.
