Like many, I've watched the Chrome OS announcement  (Including the demo)....I'm still trying to figue out why I wold buy a netbook with Chrome OS, given that I would still need a full featured PC for the other stuff I need to do (Serious editing, analysis of data, presentsations ...etc.). To day with my cheap netbook running  Windows 7, i can do everything the Chrome OS does and much more !...and about boot time, have you experienced the speed at which a Win 7 PC resumes from sleep mode.( I do not remember the last time I rebooted my PC).....I'm still to be convinced.
