Especially when Google is paying OEMs to put ChromeOS on those devices. Add cheap ARM chips to the equation and you cheap attractive netbooks that are lucrative for OEMs.

BTW I _love_ that they seem to demand FOSS drivers! Hurray Google!

If they can convince a ARM maker to release open source drivers for their
OpenGL ES chipsets then that alone would make everything worthwhile.

ARM is fast, efficient, and it's dirt cheap. But closed source GPU
acceleration is your only option for that sort of thing.
