The really interesting thing, at least to me, is what effect this may have on Microsoft and Windows. Google OS May Force Microsoft to Reinvent Windows |
The interesting thing is that every laptop I have used or seen used after a period of time seems to bog itself down and slow to a crawl with windows, be that XP or Vista.
My mom's computer is an HP with two CPUs and Vista and used to run pretty snappy..... now it's a little over a year old and the thing is running like crap and if it were me, I'd reformat the thing.
Laptops also seem to heat up pretty damn quick to, to the point where if I have it in my actual "Lap" I begin to sweat due to the heat passing through my legs.
A lighter, less intensive OS for laptops seems to be just what the doctor ordered.
And while Mac Laptops don't seem to slow down as badly, they still slow down and heat up to a point over time.... and rather then slowing down to a crawl like Windows, you get errors galore.... can't stand Macs.... stable my arse, even the Desktops are wonky.
