I read something a while ago where someone was speculating that Google might be planning to move their Android OS to Netbooks. Well it looks like they had a different plan for Netbooks: Google Chrome OS. Take their fairly robust browser and bolt Linux onto it, and you have an OS specifically designed to run web applications . . . . like Google Docs, GMail, etc. And it can run on your Desktop too!
And thanks to Mono and Moonlight you can run Silverlight applications under it as well.

Chrome OS is just based on Linux and it is not really a “real” proprietary operating system from Google. i wonder if Google would also compete with MS Windows in the future.
i installed Chrome OS on two of my netbooks. the Chrome OS works great and its loading time is very fast too.
I have tried using Chrome OS in one of my desktop PC’s, the overall performance is above average to excellent ~
