Chrome OS
Last modified: Thursday, July 16, 2009 

The Google Chrome Operating System was announced by Google nine months after it releases the Chrome browser. Google Chrome is described as a lightweight operating system will make its debut targeting netbook devices. The OS, which is Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel, is expected to be able to run on x86 as well as ARM chips. Google is expected to open source the code in 2009, and netbooks running the Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

LinuxToday: Google Frenzy and Mono Mania
So what are the implications for a Linux-based Google OS? If they stick to a genuine Free/Open Source development and distribution model, and don't try to sneak in nasty stuff like an ultimate sneaky data collector with access to everything on the user's computer, it could be very cool.
