I'm very bullish on Chromebooks and ChromeOS and have been since testing the prototype devices almost exactly 2 years ago today. I'm excited by Chromebooks because they're simple. Simple is good.
Simple is the opposite of complex and as famed technologist Ray Ozzie notes in his Dawn of a New Day memo, complexity is not cool.
Complexity kills. Complexity sucks the life out of users, developers and IT. Complexity makes products difficult to plan, build, test and use. Complexity introduces security challenges. Complexity causes administrator frustration.As someone who often plays the roll of administrator, or managing others playing this roll, I have a particular appreciation for the awesomeness that is simplicity. Ray Ozzie feels the same way as Leonardo da Vinci did some 500 years ago as he stated, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Some things never change.
