Agreed but Chrome OS's main selling point is simplicity, something which is almost impossible to grasp for geeks ;) A "tizenbook" should be able to run web apps and native apps in a transparent way. Since Chrome OS is Google-centric, a localised Tizen alternative could be a very interesting proposition for all Google competitors like: Alibaba/UC, Tencent, Baidu (India, China), Yandex (Russia), Facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, rollApp, Sandstorm, etc (global) The same strategic partners as for a Tizen phone or TV btw
