I like the idea of the Chromebook. It makes it clear what it is. I certainly would not choose to make it my primary computing device, for the reasons I have already given.
I am not opposed to multiple computing/Internet venues/environments, but I think we should be clear about which one we are in---and let the market provide a new one if the previous owner (of the market) decides to move on.
