I'm surprised Google with all its resources and technology could not come up with its own operating system from scratch instead on basing it on Linux. That being said, why do they even need "crippled" Chrome OS when there are many mini Linux distros that already fulfill this purpose? I'm guessing because of the branding, but that makes them more like Apple. Take an open source Linux/Unix system, slap a well-known logo on it, heavily advertise it, and people will use it to access Google-related services (classic means to an end scenario). I'm just waiting for the apps store announcement any day now.
