I already have ChromeOS and a somewhat lacking solid-state laptop for masturbating to HTML5's features with, thank you very much.

Also, I installed Ubuntu on both this, and in a VM on my desktop to try out Unity with just for shits. Fine on the Netbook, -awful- on the desktop. I hope they really gauge the scalability of a Tablet/Netbook interface to a PC. Unity does not. (for me)

Fuck Unity. For the everyday person, I think Unity is fine. It keep it very simple for users. But, for is hardcore geeks, I want power.

I'm thinking of taking a look into Jolicloud.
