Would you change your OS if there is a better one offered free of cost?

I have heard about the launch of new OS by Google. Would you switch over to Chrome OS from Windows if it is offered to you for free?

I think right I'm very quite satisfied with my current OS which is Windows XP. Before I use a Vista Business but its performance is so miserable, and I cannot almost do anything with my laptop.

I would have to see what it is like. Where did you hear about chrome anyway? last I heard it was just a web browser and nothing more.

Yes I will definitely change my OS, if it is offered free of cost. We have to see how Chrome OS works first before coming to any decissions. The fact is even though I liked the Chrome browser, of late, it is giving some problems and some times I use IE or Firefox. So changing of OS will take time.

I would definitely want to give it a try as it is free but I would need another computer for that coz I wouldn't want to lose the XP I am using now. At least if I have both of them... when I can't use other I can still have a spare.

If it is easy to work with it, then I will definitely change my operating system as I don't like to use Microsoft's windows xp and vista..But as we don't have better OS than these, I am using . But it is doubtful that will it be better than the available microsoft's products and I am not sure about that. But I will give it a try at least with the pirated copy even if it is not available free of cost.If I find the new one as useful, then I will permanently change my OS to then new one.

No, thank you. I do not need and I do not want a new OS even if it's free. The reason is, new OS take up computer resources. From Windows 3.1 right up till Windows Vista, you progressively need better hardware to support each new version. That means spending money on an OS which you might not need. Unless I get a stable OS that doesn't eat up my computer resources, I wouldn't consider changing my XP - not in the next 5 years :)
