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.
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 .
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.
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.
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."
