i know smth. if google announced that they are releasing chrome os (built
around browser in a way), that will have a linux kernel
running all the programs, it makes me believe that they know what they are
doing.

that's a fair way to say it. if it is better for you, use it. my mom for

her old ericsson phone. it may be slow, old and generally a throwaway item
now, but it works better for her.
it doesn't mean *it is* better or that the new phones are sh*t.

as i understand u mean computer hardware benchmarks?
we were talking about browsers (testing software on identical hardware). so
