Well Google's finally announced their Operating System for mobile Netbooks and I thought I'd just rip of a quick wish list and send it onto the nets in order to give the ten to the hundredth crew my two cents.

I’ve been thinking about a Netbook OS for quite a while now here are the top 7 features I’d like to see in the Chrome OS:

1. Unify Storage: I want my bits and bytes to live in the cloud but I'd also like them around when I'm not connected. Heresy your say! But it's a fact Jack; I'm not always going to be online. So let's imagine a file system that transparently handles the location of my data. Caching it where it makes sense, allowing me to pin things locally (perhaps via folder location) while allowing me to relegate other data to a 'store it where it makes sense' algorithm.

2. Secure Discovery: While I'm roaming around I'd like people to find me via Blue Tooth, the net or even the Alpha waves emanating from me noggin. But make it a secure, remembered hand shake between devices and/or users. I need to get my social on.

3. Optimize Connectivity: Simply put: figure out the cheapest way of getting me bandwidth but then switch providers as I go mobile without my needing to get involved.

4. Sip Power: Sleep when necessary, wake up quickly. The power of the Netbook is based upon instantly available, just in time access.

5. Embed the Cloud: Why should I tell the men from the cloud to embed the cloud? Cuz. Give me Google apps but let me use the code locally even if I'm not on the network. "But it's a NETBOOK you say!"...yup. But down here I live in the real world and if you want me to use a device for productivity apps as well as traditional web/social browsing I need it both ways. Wrap that Google Apps stuff into that Google Gears infrastructure and deploy part of that code locally... so I can read some of those documents you've already let me cache.

6. Hack Me Not: You better make it impenetrable if you're going to connect me to everyone and everything. Do it before the hacker world paints a bull’s-eye on your backs like they did to Microsoft. Well, OK, Microsoft made it a sport.

7. Enterprise Enable: In a world of enterprise clouds make sure I can get there from my Netbook. Embed client (terminal) code so I can remote console on into my Linux and Windows virtual boxes. Make it part of the OS so you can assure me the code is clean and ‘unhackable’. There are certain apps that require a single throat to choke; this one is critical for enterprise adoption.

Let me know what you think. Message me at ZlynxMaster@gmail.com.
