Google wants Chrome OS on desktops; manufacturers disagree

Google wants Chrome OS on desktops; manufacturers disagree

It looks like Google isn't satisfied with only having its Chrome OS on netbooks aka Chromebooks. Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, recently shared in Taiwan to PC manufacturers about the benefits of having Chrome OS-powered desktops. However, it looks like PC manufacturers aren't buying the idea and are rather pessimistic about selling Chrome-powered desktops - despite Chrome OS' features such as fast boot up time, no viruses, and no costs. This pessimism apparently stems from the lack of demand for Chromebooks; if nobody was going to buy netbooks with Chrome OS, why would people buy desktops with Chrome OS.

Ubergizmo, Google wants Chrome OS on desktops; manufacturers disagree
