@AccyD

I'm sorry but I'll trust Google over Microsoft any day.

As for apple, well yes some of their policies and hardware suck hard, no doubt. Yet, I haven't found anything in wintel world to replace the macbook pros (no I am not a apple fanboy even though I use their products). BTW I'd like to see the day when the next Windows version is 24€ and can be installed to up to 5 machines ;-)

Around here IE is only used by inexperienced new users or due to policy reasons (company intra or other web apps require IEx). Everyone else is using Firefox, Opera or if you're trendy: Chrome. I guess some apple users are happy with Safari, too, but I'd still think power users use something else.

I have to agree with this particular study is just plain silly though.

Google Docs & Chrome OS is all about getting access to your data, anyone who doesn't get that is very naive.

Yeah right... Keep wearing that tin foil hat.

I only ever see inexperienced users who think they are power users installing firefox, opera or chrome.
Weird place you live in.

Or because of policy reasons, like delluded companies who think IE is a security risk.
Organizations that force users to use outdated IE are source of major security headache. There are numerous organizations that are unable to upgrade from IE6 because of Microsoft lock-in in their various internal web sites.

But knock yourself out.
Likewise.
