I imagine it will be something like the Crunchpad's software - a single stack dedicated to interacting with the web. That said, when it comes out, I will definitely give Google OS a try.

I read some articles on Google jumping into the OS system. Some of the points the article below made are: 1. Apple will most likely be the one affected because of it's two main drawbacks: fewer apps and costlier hardware. Google's OS is supposed to offer a platform that runs on more afordable hardware 2. Windows 7 pricing will likely get more competitive. 3. Netbooks are probably the best place to start. 4. Large companies are unlikely first companies and will most likely treat it as an experiment until the OS proves it has enterprise-class management. 5. Would Googles dominance be any better than Microsoft's? The idea of a single company controlling the desktop, the application and the data is not without concern. Here is the link to the article in case you want to read: http://www.pcworld.com/article/168141/google_chrome_os_will_reshape_desktop_landscape.html Are you thinking of getting the Google OS? Another thing that will be interesting to see is how they keep up with two OS. The Chrome one and Android. Interesting predictions that you are making.
