Will Google's Chrome OS be dead on arrival? (ComputerWorld)

This article is more interesting in that the assumptions its making about the market that ChromeOS will be injected into, and not about ChromeOS itself. No head nod to any other linux based competitor in the netbook space. That's telling. It's a forgone conclusion in the article that in a year's time that the only competitors of merit in low-end consumer space will be Microsoft and Google? Each dominant in a different form factor. MS on netbooks, and Google on tablets. Not so much a competition about operating systems but a competition between form factors and functionality more generally.

Not even any blatant rah-rah chearleading that I have come to expect from Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols in the linked article inside the ComputerWorld column about any other linux competitors other than Google in the not so far off future of next year.
