Is Google Chrome OS for me?

Google Chrome OS may just be the answer to many of my problems. As a mother, student, and business owner I find myself rushing and always multitasking. I watched this video demonstrating the capability.

I was amazed that Google had taken the internet to yet another level to make my life easier. I am constantly switching between multiple programs. I often get tired of waiting and regularly close an application accidently. Recently I have experienced viruses that compromised much of the data on my hard drive. I noticed there has been a lot of discussion about the security, although, when I watched the “How it Works” video it explained it very simply, by saying it was like email.

I am not and have never claimed to be technically competent especially when it comes to anything to do with the internet. I think about Google Chrome OS and I think I must have it, but windows is all I have ever known and change is always something I embrace slowly. I would like to convert to Google Chrome OS, but I have so many questions.
Questions like, Can I still use windows? Will I still be able to save files to my hard drive? What happens to games and music that are normally played through a windows icon? Is the OS part of Google Chrome even available yet?

Sometime during my HP career each employee was given the book “The HP Way.” I must confess I did not read the book in its entirety. I did read enough to take way a philosophy that inspired me and an often frustrated me when I wasn’t able to live by it. The philosophy was to give people the tools they need to succeed and watch them succeed. Perhaps Google Chrome is one of those tools people need to succeed.
