I seriously doubt it'l work out

To be a successful OS, you need 3 things. Applications (remember Viscalc?) a familar OS, (IE windows LOOKING) and it has to run applacations people already has without headaches. Two of those is killing linux. KDE may be pretty close ot windows looking, but not close enough, but applications. There's the rub. Wine is a joke, and people are too mired in concrete to use anything except what ever their god MS says to use.

Nice try, Google. But sorry - no way.

BTW I don't use chrome either. You waited too long to bring out a linux version, and not supporting Win2k users was the final touch.
