I think your missing the fact that Emacs wont run on this OS.

  Emacs won't run? Then why would I want to use it? What about all my Lisp code? And why on earth do I want to give Google so much control of my OS? And full control of my laptop? Maybe I should just give bots from outer space full control of my workspace.

    Not sure this OS is for you.

    Why is this being upvoted? It neither contributes to the conversation nor is it interesting. It amounts to uninformed opinion dreg.

      You can share opinions on HN. It is my opinion that ChromeOS is more than a little likely to fail. There is too much the web can't replace. And the Chrome web app store? Meh. I hope it fails. I'd love to start paying $4 for all those crappy flash/javascript games. "Installing" web pages? Who came up with this nonsense? See. I just shared some opinions. Feel free to share your own. Our opinions also amount to reviews. This is a new product, and we're speculating about how we would review it had we tried it.

  You're right, I didn't know that. I would imagine, though, that Emacs will eventually be ported to Chrome.

      Awesome - they've fixed C-n since this was first posted on HN!

  Actually it will run, you can switch to console mode and install any app you want.
