it will all depend on exactly what this PC will do. If it's $200 and all it will do is surf the internet and play movies and games it will fail.

Remeber PeoplePC and didn't AOL try this before, Hell even Microsoft tried this with web TV. It's been tried in the past and failed in the past. Dell has a computer right now for $300 and it will do all this plus run games and other programs so I can't see how the google computer can compete.

Now I say this with some hesitation because of two things: 1.Google seems to have the midas touch and everything they try works out. and 2. we have yet to actually see exactly what this computer can do and how much it will cost.

But let us not forget something Bill Gates himself said, "Success Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." Google may just find out how true this is.
