Obviously you don't use Google Chrome very much. lol IE Dosen't hold a candle to the many times the Google Chrome crashes (and that's sad because IE crashes a lot and is FULL of security flaws)

Shame that this thread has devolved into an argument about web browsers when it isn't even about browsers to begin with. It should be brought back on topic or closed. The topic is not which browser is more secure and crashes the least.

The original question is can Google deliver a viable OS based on their minimalistic browser and whether that OS will pose a viable threat to Windows?

your right and I aplogize for my part. Actually I do hope that Google is successful, it would be nice to see some competition for Microsoft.
