Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.

Ideal PC
If windows OS has smaller footprint, it will be a lot better. Maybe it can be embedded on chips or chipsets so that it will not always be altered and minimize crashes. Data and programs could be installed on solid state devices rather than old traditional hard drives that always crashes. A more centralized application is better minimizing the task of doing continues patches and updates. Microsoft never done any software or applications that has no problems. Good for administrators, programmers and other Tech experts, it is a lifetime job security.
