Not surprised as Google has enough “cloud”.
Having had a snoop what others are doing – the most interesting ‘dark horse’ is clearly the “Netbook Pack” from whytwitter. It seems they will have the ‘upgrade market’ under control before Chrome OS is launched late 2010.
Personally, I think these guys are ahead of the rest of the pack. Which reminds me… That was how Google started!
