I hope it will have Sun's JRE and Adobe's Flash preinstalled.

LOL ... what for? by then HTML5 will be widely distributed, who needs Java or Flash when you have HTML5 ...

I wouldn't be so optimistic. Flash and applets will not disapear immediately. What is more, IMHO HTML is for pages and Flash/Flex or applets are for apps.

You are wrong bro. Yes HTML is for web pages actually and flash and applets are for bloat your browser with crap and remember that those plugins are proprietary.

Flash is not only used for advertisements ;) Web is not monolithic. Flash (and later JavaFX) was created due to the limitations of HTML4.x. HTML5 is a giant step forward but IMHO Google Chome OS - in order to be a Windows-killer - should open all kinds of websites (especially if there won't be so many native applications).

It's pretty clear why some of us (including myself) need Java, JavaFX or Flex apart from HTML5. For some of us, Java development is much faster than HTML trial and error with javascript, css that still looks different on every single OS/browser combination.

Since it's basically a lightweight version of Linux, why not IBM's JRE?

Browser is not for OS, its for surfing internet

And accessing Internet is what 80% of the people need an OS for ...

100 % True. Nowadays even office suites are available online.

You all hav been brainwashed by google.

Android is better

lol :-)
