web applications

[lucyyenic]

A few things that I found interesting: you can only run web applications, as they've limited the ability to write to the disc drive (it seems they've limited this to SSD), the source is open, data is encrypted, no app store in the foreseeable future.

So my question is, how is this different from a good web browser? Actually it is different, you can't run your native applications and have to rely on the varied "web applications". Google needs to spend more time improving their browser instead of taking on a full fledged (gimped) OS.
