I respect Google’s design principles and usability of their solutions. Having read an early announcement of Google Chrome OS, I am impressed by their vision on the usability of operating systems and how clearly they have pointed out all those challenges:
- People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up.
- They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them.
- They want their data to be accessible to them wherever they are and not have to worry about losing their computer or forgetting to back up files.
- Even more importantly, they don’t want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware, or have to worry about constant software updates.
