News Google netbooks set to hit market

ChromeOS is just silly. It's just Linux with Fullscreen chrome slapped on top of it and not much more installed. You can easily root it and install more crap and use it just like Linux. Android on the other hand is a completely different beast, requires its own apps and a special programming SDK.
They could just as easily have made a ChromeOS with Windows at the base (just put chrome as the shell instead of Windows Explorer).
