>The entire point of the Chromebook is that your OS is constantly updated, and you're complaining about it updating when you start it for the first time? Also: rich coming from someone that works for Microsoft. A fresh install of Windows has nearly a gig of updates to download.
Chromebook was touted as something that doesn't need updates(especially the ones that need full reboots) in the media. The MS guy might have wondered how that was possible, and boom, gets hit by a long update that needed a reboot. How is that rich?
>I honestly didn't think it was possible for someone to physically complain about getting a free taste of 3G service, but there you go on your silly little rant.
He is right to complain about the really low limit of 100MB when it takes all your personal info(and gets stuck in a loop!).
>Or don't, because you clearly already made your mind up about the product before even laying a finger on it.
Huh, he did lay a finger on it, he used it. Did we read the same article? And you were calling his blog post stupid. Now that's rich.

What I believe the grandparent meant was that the author had already made his decision before using it, and that having made his decision of how to view it he then proceeded to view it in that way. This is as opposed to the ideal of reviews, in which the reviewer forms opinions on the usability and quality of a product solely through interaction with a product.

Say what? Everything so far has said it would have automatic updates. That is not the same as saying it requires no updates. In fact it is the opposite.
Google Chromebook will have updates but they will be of chrome browser types where they happen behind the scenes and downloads are tiny. You restart your browser and you are on a new version. No one even cares what version of chrome browser you are running now, because they have made versions obsolete. That being said it is a little curious why they had to do it on first boot for 7 minutes. But everyone who is used to microsoft PC's please 7 minutes is like a blink of an eye we have dealt with microsoft's day long updates for 2 decades now.
