Disclaimer: I haven't closly monitored the developments of the chrome browser and more recently chrome OS.

Today, I came across some pages that sort of mentioned that chrome OS might be the next big thing. Since I have heard about those next big things since I am in the industry, I don't give it too much thought until it stands the test of time.

I also watched this youtube movie (made by google themselves) about the chrome OS where the narrator says the following (at around 2:27):

But here's the thing: none of this is stored on the computer.

WHAT? None of it? you ask.

Yeah, none of it.

Reeealllly none of it

Yeah. Nothing is stored on your computer

Well, where is it?

It's on: the internet

Perhaps I miss the point here, but how can anyone assume that organisations and people with data more confidential than a youtube video or an entry in twitter want to use such an OS?
