Submission + - Chrome OS Arrives on the iPad--No Seriously! (ostatic.com)

Thinkcloud writes: A user named Hexxeh has posted a video online of the iPad running Google's upcoming Chrome OS. Hexxeh was able to put Chrome OS on an iPad because the open source code for the operating system is available in its Chromium state, but it's not necessarily true that Apple will allow iPads to run other operating systems going forward. That's typically not a level of openness found in the Apple playbook.
Nevertheless, it's worth considering what it might mean to have a robust OS like Apple's on the same tablet as one that runs a cutting-edge operating system like Chrome OS. Why wouldn't users love that?

well, I was there during those days and this is NOT a diskless workstation. It has a DISK. Kinda makes it hard to be classified as Diskless, doesn't it?

Man, amazed when /.'ers miss the boat so much on stuff I know that I worry about what may be very misleading on stuff I don't know but read here. :-(

These are PCs that are pretty much just removed from under the desk and locked away 'somewhere else'. It's more a "split client" than a thin client.
