You said:
the BBC initially pitched the story as a "potential blow to Linux on netbooks" until, presumably, someone informed them that Linux was underneath it after all...!

And actually I think they had stumbled upon a point. Chrome OS is more likely to compete with and take market share from Moblin and Maemo than Windows; and as discussed it's not looking like Google are anywhere near as community friendly as, say, Nokia.
