The Chromebook is answering a question no one is asking. Windows netbooks and low-end laptops are cheap. If all you want is to web browse and use browser based apps, Acronis will let you reload Win 7 from a protected image in a few minutes, so malware issues can be worked around easily.

If you want a richer graphics experience, tablets from Apple and Google’s Android operating system offer more options, are more compact, and some are cheaper.

If you want a locked down corporate OS, virtualized remote desktops work just fine and protect data from theft/exposure.

So what’s the the point exactly? I’ve been in IT for over 30 years and just don’t get it.
