This made me just dance for joy:

Why?
Because it feels like a breath of fresh air into the OS market. We seem to only see a few types of OS out in the market:
1) Windows
2) Mac OS
3) Windows and Mac OS clones (hello Ubuntu, Red Hat)
4) Obscure, underused other OS (slackware, anything using Solaris)
It seems that instead of directly competing with Windows or Mac OS (so no better-Windows Chrome OS), Google seems to be doing a bit of their own thing. Doug Rushkoff sumed up my feelings about his pretty well (from boingboing):

I really can't wait to try this out and look forward to any possible beta of this before next year's launch date.
