I'm really eager to take a look at this new OS.

I just read this in another article.

"The new platform, which features software components from the Linux kernel, Ubuntu, and Moblin, will likely be made available for release by the end of 2010, but users of existing PCs may be disappointed to learn that Chrome OS will only support netbook-like devices with solid-state storage drives, so for now, Google is not bringing this product to the entire PC-platform market."

That is interesting. I can see why Ubuntu Netbook edition is being used since it is the only Linux based edition that I know of.
