Assuming this is not already known to everyone, though it was
apparently published in late 2009...

Apparently Chrome OS plans to use containers to increase system security.

See http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/system-hardening
(In particular, 'minijail' and 'libminijail'.)

Update from August 20 this year: "we have minijail implemented, just
not feature-complete".
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=380

Code is available to browse here:
  http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=minijail.git;a=tree

The code itself states:
  "XXX This is a very early implementation of the jailing logic.
  XXX Many features are missing or will be made more tunable."

Hope the above is of interest to some!
