La-la-laaaa, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-cloud. Here comes Speedy Review of CloudReady, a Linux edition based on Google Chromium OS, intended for use on hardware other than Chromebooks, including virtual machine preparation and setup, Google account sign in, installation, look & feel, basic usage, applications, settings, limitations, and more. Should be fun, in an ethereal sort of way. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/cloudready.html Cheers, Mrk
Microsoft is trying the same approach with Windows 10 S. The cloud has its appeal but is very limiting. Most people would run it only in circumstances where a full desktop isn't practical. But a locked-down OS isn't most people's idea of daily computing. That's why the desktop - Linux and Windows - remains a part of our lives. We enjoy the ease and freedom to run software we see fit.
