I think it's number 2. Now I can't see what the "default" presentation is (which always had 1 conspiracy theory thing).

Not personal recommendations, they won't show anything. It would be like loading up Lemmy/Reddit and not seeing anything until you logged in or subscribed to a community.

Is that Linux only?

Sigh, yes everyone knows that ChromeOS is built on linux. That's not what people mean when they say running linux.

AFAIK Chromebooks can run Office 365 (the online one, whatever it's called now). Microsoft had to do that to try to keep Office relevant and accessible.

How do you break away from something you were programmed to use?

You don't, you get the next generation to use your product first. They start with chromebooks in elementary school now. That's the first computer kids will have and likely have all the way to grade 12 for school (after that is who knows what). Kids today will be programmed to use Chromebooks, not windows. That's my point.

Sigh. You said it yourself, somewhere. Not everywhere.

Not 100%, but most big businesses will.

Comparatively they are the newcomer by far. Remember when they first came out they were considered failed, then it took what 8 years later for them to start to become adopted much at all.

Yup their own purchasing decision and over half will have had bad experiences with the cheapest, slowest, pos Chromebooks their school bought. And they will want that sex appeal, look at me, luxury, Apple.

Not really how the market works. Inertia is huge, brand image (Apple) is huge, social pressure (Apple) is huge, simply not knowing is huge. The newcomer always has the disadvantage to get converts. (Not to mention many of the people that only need internet have iPads only.)

I think your info is out of date, at least from what I see. Schools are going to Chromebooks because that's all the budget allows. I think it's going to be scary when these kids enter the workforce and can't use Windows office.

Most people only need internet access. Look at Chromebooks.

Companies probably will.

I'd think the financial crash. What did Oprah say?
