[Google Chrome OS] It certainly looks like Google's planned OS is a realization of John Gage's The network is the computer motto. Privacy will be a major consideration. But Windows will certainly also partially evolve towards server-centric functions in spite of its origins on personal computers.

For any privacy-paranoid user there are alternatives: get a Linux distribution and compile your OS and applications yourself. There are distributions which require personal compilation, like Gentoo Linux.
