Since the Chrome project started, we’ve seen many changes.

• Microsoft is advertising Windows 7 as a cloud application, showing a normal lady editing photos in the cloud, in a TV commercial,
• Jolicloud has been out for months, and is now rumored to be about to sell a Jolicloud netbook,
• The iPad came out and made a big difference in how people see simple daily computing.
• Starting last week, the new Macbook Airs have introduced the concept of a full operating system fast portable computing without the heavy weight of a normal notebook.
• And three weeks after Google Docs was rumored to be becoming fully usable on iPads and Androids,  it still isn’t.
• Meanwhile some things never change, Google Chrome OS is late, and Google Chrome OS is still eagerly awaited.

So we wait, and wait for a really good old idea to materialize, and meanwhile hardware and software move forward.
