Google Chrome OS
The big news on the Internet today is that Google has announced the launch of a new operating system for web applications. This new operating system is currently called Google Chrome OS, and the official announcement is Introducing Google Chrome OS.
Google Chrome OS appears to be the Chrome browser built on top of a Linux kernel. Therefore, there is some debate regarding whether this really is an operating system or not :o
I think that it certainly will make the operating space more competitive, which is a good thing!
For more information about this see Google plans Chrome-based Web operating system, Google Chrome: Redefining The Operating System, and Google polishes Chrome into netbook OS.

Marketing vapourware. No demo, no specifications and vague features.

I was expecting that the specifications and features would be a subset of Linux with the Chrome browser :o
