Nice review – to the point. I tried it and basically using virtualbox with chrome os it the complicated way of using chrome dev on w7. By the way in my opinion chrome os will fail unless netbooks are sold under $200 but then again, a netbook will still be an inferior notebook/laptop.

Personally offline use is pretty important.

I just always assumed “Google OS” was going to be nothing more than a web browser and an interface to Google web applications. Sounds like – so far – that’s accurate.
