So if google has you're info stored can a hacker that breaks in somehow have access to all those files from anybody?
Google is fast becoming Big Brother through giving everyone "free" stuff that they have operational control over.
Invoicing a customer or playing a game doesn't require internet access if you have PC software. That is unless you email invoices, which puts you in the same boat if the "router or net goes down" example you give.I like the idea of fast!
But what I'm not for is a computer that has to be online in order to get any thing else done on it. This means if your router or any thing related to the net goes down you cannot do some thing like invoice customers, or play a game etc etc etc.

Online apps are going to be the norm. You will be able to gain access from anywhere. The theory is that, for a weak example, if you are at work and you need to make out an invoice you don't have to drive home to make one out. Right from your iPhone, which is exactly what I can do right now.
I think the value here is that it is lightweight and focused on one particular task. Google will be able to sell this to developers who wish to create single use devices. Imagine a mini screen in your kitchen who's sole purpose is to store and find recipes.... it will be much cheaper and lightweight that either creating a brand new GUI or using existing options, such as windows.I have it installed on a VM and I must say, they have a LOT of work left to do on it before I'll install it as a primary OS.
