The Verge: Chrome OS and Device reviews



So I don't get it. The hardware looks really nice and seems to be well priced. However, why do I need a crippled version of Linux? I understand why you would add cloud features to your OS. I understand why you would want to make the UI easier to use. But from what I can read and understand from the review, there is no terminal, no command line stuff, no development tools if any kind, etc...



It just seems to me that geeks/developers would be the most likely early adopters. Why make a machine that developers can't really use?
