7. Scroogled: Microsoft's anti-
Google merchandise
In the latest 'Scroogled' attack on its rival
Microsoft is targeting the Google
Chromebook.
In an email to Scroogled.com email
subscribers, Microsoft lists four reasons
why consumers shouldn't be looking at the
Google Chromebook as a real laptop
replacement.
8. First Reason
Chromebooks can't run Windows or install
any important Windows programs like
Microsoft Office, Photoshop or any of the
latest PC games like Call of Duty or
Minecraft.
9. Second Reason
Chromebooks can't connect & sync with
the common devices you use every day.
There's no way to make a Chromebook
sync with many smartphones or camera
software, or print through a local printer.
10. Third Resson
Chromebooks can't do much of anything
when they're not online. You can't even do
basic things like edit your Google
Calendar, work on Google spreadsheets,
or print when you're not connected to the
internet.
11. Fourth Reason
By default, Chromebooks run Google's
services to track what you do online. That
includes reading through every word of
every Gmail or Gchat you send or receive
to target you with ads. When you print, the
Chromebook is set up to send your
documents through Google's servers.
Using Google Docs? These are sent
through Google's servers as well."
