The new Google OS is targeted at netbooks. I take this to be Google's
assessment that Win7 will be a flop at this end of the market.
I find it very interesting that it is based on Chrome and not
Android. I did find it curious that Chrome's features did smell a bit
like OS architecture, but with Android out in front I expected Google
to run with that. It will be interesting to see Google advancing two
distinct OS alternatives, while M$ can't seem to manage even one.
