There, fixed that for you :D

This is almost thin computing for the masses. Despite all the 'hackers' (both illegal and government) everyone seems to be happy to shove everything into the cloud. Google showed good vision when developing ChromeOS.

From what I've read. Even though Chrome OS is cloud based, you can store all your own personal files and details on the device or portable storage.

I've glad more of these are coming. With this, more pressure is on Microsoft to do better with Windows and cheaper.

You can do just that but everything is setup for the cloud including the actual programs that your running which may never actually be on your chrome device. Its just a simplistic OS and does more than 90% of what users require on a day to day basis. Pure genius.

Windows needs to be free of charge and de-bloated.

There, fixed your fix for you! "Contra Revenue" indeed, it's basically below costs selling. I guess the various competition authorities can only take action if they can prove that the below cost selling is damaging local competitors.

Still, antics like is one more reason why even Intel's largess is unlikely to persuade big players that Intel's Atom strategy will benefit them in the long run. I'm sure plenty of Taiwanese OEMs have long enough memories to know that Intel likes to abuse their dominance with uncompetitive strategies, strategic supply allocation, and so on.

Yep, that strategic supply allocation is nasty. If Intel asks you if you want to make a Chromebook then I guess you make a Chromebook or suffer the consequences. I presume that is why there were so many Ultrabooks around when sales were so bad.
