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

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.

From what I've read (in at least two different articles), Chrome OS
uses a Linux kernel.
