Yes, but you can always keep ChromeOS on a small USB key for those times
when you just want to do something on the net quickly. You don't even need
to be able to make it persistent since everything is on the net. I am not
suggesting that it is for everybody, but I will give it a try. Note:
ChromeOS is not intended to be for download and installation. It is meant to
come pre-installed on netbooks and eventually other devices as ChromeOS and
Android merge. You cna find copies of Chrome and Chromium OS in several
places, though.
