Oh, man, you won't believe how many times I have heard that... When will people stop believing this stuff?

Maemo Software is fiddling with GTK vs. QT while Google bypasses it completely to write something secure, fast, and close-to-the-metal. And makes sure it will run on x86 and ARM for good measure.
Google takes Linux and puts Chrome on top of its frame buffer. People have done it before. What is so revolutionary about it?

Interesting times lie ahead, for sure.
Sure, I just do not see ChromeOS as a significant cause of interestingness.
