It's not meant to challenge the desktop OS. My kid has one of those EeePcs running XP. The only thing she uses it for are surfing, email, web based games and IM. XP has far too much bloat to make it a pleasant experience. If Chrome delivers on what it promises I'd put it on that machine. And being open sourced I expect that a version will exist free of the Google mother ship.

Also interesting is that Balmer is having a few bob each way. They are releasing a web based version of MS Office.

Anyway, we will soon see if the time of the network computer is here.
