If this takes off and Google open sources it hardware prices (esp
complete PC systems) will plummet.

How does using free software and encouraging others to do the same infringe
on anyone's freedom?
I have said nothing about that, I just don't think it's fair to try to force
people into opening their code. My only position is that Google Chrome OS
doesn't force closed or open development, and

I'm actually with Ryan on this one. Open Source is almost trendy,
largely because of Google and their Android platform. Now netbook owners
