As Google adds more and more functionality to the chromebook (thru apps) I think more and more people will use the chromebook.

Yes, you can not run "Windows" programs on the chromebook, but I either find work-arounds(and there are many) or, more commonly, I find I don't need the Windows version.
Having worked in a cloud environment I know it is only as good as the people who maintain it. I prefer to have control over my own files. I even download my email messages. I do have to be vigilant about backup though.
