Detailed review
Google's Chrome OS offers nothing over any other OS as it is simply Google's Chrome browser with some pretty shortcuts attached. All of the services it holds are only accessible while you are online so if you happen to be somewhere without an internet connection or if your connection drops your computer will be useless. You can only enter the OS with a gmail account.
Why would users be sacrificing all the things they can do with every other OS (such as using the damn thing offline or having local files, for example) to use this pathetic excuse for an operating system?

Your comment is like saying why would you go to 7-eleven if you can get everything in Wall-mart.

I mean, you don't use chopsticks to eat soup... but it doesn't mean mean that you want to use the spoon for everything including eating sushi or pizza.

I think it's design for JUST a specific purpose, and that's just to quickly access the web without a long wait.

You make this sound stupid because you dramatize the case, to dump all other OS and keep only the chrome OS is, which of-course, very stupid. Most people use this have another main OS installed, when they just want to quickly accessing the web, they boost this so that they can access the web right away, check email, browse youtube then turn the computer off... if they want to edit video, then they boost the main OS.
