Naw, what you should be worried about is that each page you open is a separate little quick Chrome dude and you can have up to 12-15 of them available sometimes at the same time to gang up on & whup up on an invading worm or trojan or whatever.

At boot up time Chrome also checks the chksum on your whole OS and if it doesn't match the entire thing gets replaced during the boot cycle. Normal boot cycle on Chrome OS is less than 10 seconds on an Asus Chromebox. If you need a total reload (powerwash, they call it) it takes 20-30 seconds. Quick. Secure.

MS would just eat the worm and die and go all blue screen on you. Or lose its boot sector, or pelt you with ads and change all your home pages and just screw you up every which way it can.

so the chromebox is already out? that or a chromebook is sounding better and better, this PC is OLD man, I bought it refurbed over 7 years ago, and the system battery voltage is low, according to the startup program

I realy need to read these threads more carefully, I'm feeling quite a bit like the dumbest kid in the room

Reply #17 - 03/30/14 at 23:08:32 amazon wants $216.59 (plus presumably shipping) for the asus chromebox :'( also one review suggests it needs a special keyboard? not just a regular one? that could be a problem

You might try to go to the correct threads too -- this is a joke thread that Serowbot started with a painfully true joke about what he is faced with (same choices as you, actually)

Here is your chrome box thread. Go here to read up on Asus Chromebox and where to buy it.

Going back to the semi joke that was at the front of this XP is dying, what do we do? thread -- here is a whimsical comparison of Elephants and Asses that can also be read as a semi-political statement about "relevance" in general.

Read it with a grin, plug in Chromebook/Chromebox for Tablet if you want to make it all current events type stuff.

In either case Microsoft is in trouble .....
