Google can delete my Facebook account? My Office Web Apps account? How do they manage this?

> Every OS ever has had this feature. It's called "Users"

No other OS saves OS settings and apps in the cloud, to my knowledge.

Google can delete my Facebook account? My Office Web Apps account? How do they manage this?

If Google deletes your Google/GMail account, can you still login to your Chromebook?


You don't need to login at all.


Nice. For some reason I thought you needed a Google account to use it. Now that I know you don't that's a plus. Not enough of a plus, but it's one less thing to worry about.


It's a plus, but is it a Google plus? /rimshot

You don't use your Facebook account to log into a Chromebook.


It is probably a safe bet to assume the parent knows this.
