I'm used to producing files using various computer applications and storing them in folders on the installed OS. Using online applications is OK but what happens when the connection goes down, or the Internet becomes so busy that data slows to a crawl? At least with a full-blown OS installed, there is always something else you can be getting on with. I'm not sure a netbook running Google's OS will ever take the place of a real computer for me.
