"Get the idea? With desktop Linux, I'm free to choose
exactly what I want. With Chrome OS, it looks like that while I'll
get a better and more stable system than Windows 7 I run the risk
of being locked into a Google software ecosystem that might
potentially be as restrictive as Windows has been.
"I'm not saying that this is how it's going to be, but I am
concerned. I'll feel a lot better in a few months if I discover
that the Google Chrome OS betas will let me run any Linux desktop
application and programs running off any HTML 5-compatible Web
site."
