Google is going to release Chrome OS based on cloud computing, Where everything is based on Internet (no HDD, no hassels on Application install and lot more features and pay as per the service usage). If this gets popularity then how does underdeveloped countries cope up with the fastest growing technology, Don't you guys think it would be nightmare for those countries to cope up with this fastest growing trends?

even in developed countries internet connection is not 100% reliable.
People will still want to be able to do their work if for some reason their connection is down for a while. Hence, chrome should have some functunality in offline mode.
Following the current trend of gmail and google docs, which have introduced offline mode and flakey connection mode for times or places with limited or no internet connection, it is therefore likely that similiar or features will be availiable in chrome.
Also, I believe that chrome is Open Source, in that case people in developing countries should be able to tailor the OS to their needs.

I am looking forward to chrome.

I agree with NightElf. Since Chrome is going to be an open-source free software, computer companies don't have to pay licensing fees to Windows. This would mean the prices for computers themselves will be able to decrease, reducing the overall costs of computing for the general public.

Chrome (Beta) version is available for download. It is a good use for netbook if you are completely sure that you will have high speed internet readily available. Chrome OS is not the replacement for Windows and if you do things offline, you are doomed. Think about this, we have free OS like Ubuntu, OpenSuSe, and others and I think none of them have changed the market share of Microsoft so far and none of them are considered as serious competitor to Windows. And, Chrome is not different thank any other linux OS, after all it's build on top of Monolithic Linux. 

How about using Linux?? No hassle of setting up costly high speed internet connection.
We even have a Nepali (localized) version of Linux. http://www.nepalinux.org/

As Oracle CEO said: Cloud is just a water vapor. LOL

I was hoping Chromium OS would be more like ubuntu, if Google came up with a linux distro, that could really help boost Linux into mainstream. This cloud computing may be the future, but not impressed with the demo. I had high hopes from Google.

afaik, google currently has offline mode for certain Google apps, so there may be possiblility for offline activities. and again its very early to make judgment.

Where do I store all my mp3 collections, family videos, photos?
How do we play games on those (besides chess..lol) ?
Video editing, photo editing ?
Basic File management ?

From what I understand they are basically making it like a cellphone, where we only access information and do nothing with it.

What market share are you Targeting Google ? And you expect to compete with linux, OS X and windows with this ?
Epic Fail on the horizon ! Sorry Google

edit:
Thanks Gajadi for posting, I agree with you.

end of the personal privacy in computing will start with the Chromium OS.

Cloud computing is a nice concept but it has a long way to go to become the one and only medium.

I am quite sure that ordinary people wouldn't mind using cloud computing(I use it), but when it comes to corporations like banks, Governments & other places where the data is sensitive, it can't be used. If it is used, then we should question the motives of such actions.

If you guys wanna try Chrome OS, here's a link
