You might be right. Chrome is just a linux kernel though, that's just under the hood. Who knows what they will actually provide in terms of look and feel and usability. They are initially targeting netbook users , and lord knows the netbook hasn't supplanted the PC for general purpose use.

It depends how it is marketed. I think they could take a huge bite out of the netbook O/S market, I love what they did with Google Chrome Browser, based on that and their web sevices, I think they will come up with something very fast and efficient and easy to use, but without the range of abilities that Windows has.
