I mean, why in the world are you asking me about something you truly don't give a damn about? I hate to sound aggressive; however explaining this is much like me listening to N900 announcements. I may be interested in the technology but I've already made my decision about it.
Hang on, I understand *I* am not the target audience but I *am* interested in the specifics, as I'm the guy friends, famility and coworkers ask for choices and I do want to give them the best option for THEIR uses. Chrome OS will be not be ASKED for, it will be GIVEN to it's users from what you say, and that's why more detailed info is needed for me not to consider it a variant of Knoppix Live with a G logo on it (with knoppix actually giving me the option to put up stuff from debian repos). The other issue is that those people often don't buy netbooks. Everybody survey says netbooks are more often secondary machines people already owning a desktop or a large notebook - are they wrong or has the user profile Google is aiming at yet to emerge ?
