Great and Disappointing Operating Systems of the Decade

There were literally hundreds of them from huge companies down to busy people with laptops: operating systems. Some found their way into microdevices, watches, refrigerators, mobile phones, cars, motorcycles, jets, even the International Space Station. Occasionally, they worked, and perhaps they worked well. Others, sadly, didn't-- or weren't the right thing at the right time. We name names.

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.
