"I hope Google will really demand open source drivers for Chrome OS."
They won't. I hear the some of the first ARM netbooks will be Qualcomm Snapdragons, and Qualcomm are one of the most Free-unfriendly ARM implementors.
"It would make sense if they really want to use upstream kernels and be able to tweak the OS at every level and update it at will."
They haven't seemed terribly fussed about upstream with android.
"because ARM is PowerVR invested territory too"
Not so. ARM have their own Mali GPU (just as bad Free driver territory). Nvidia have their Tegra (which is even worse I think).
