gdgt.com says:
Chrome OS, announced by Google earlier this year, is promised to be an open-source, Linux based OS that will run on both x86 and ARM based systems. It is going to be based on the Chrome browser and will be initially targeted at low-powered netbooks, with support for higher end systems coming later.

Why Chrome OS Will Fail - Big Time
InfoWorld's Randall C. Kennedy says:
The preceding statement should come as no surprise to readers of my Enterprise Desktop blog. I came to a similar conclusion months ago. When news of the existence of a Google OS project first leaked out, I gave it an ice cube's chance in hell of succeeding. Now, after watching a sometimes touchy-sounding crew from Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters walk us through the ins and outs of the Chrome OS, I'm more convinced than ever that my original assessment was right on the money.....

Five Reasons Google Chrome OS will Succeed
PCWorld's Jared Newman says:
Google's Chrome OS doesn't signal the apocalypse for Apple and Microsoft, but that doesn't mean the operating system won't succeed when it arrives next year. Just like the Chrome Web browser, Google's carving out a small slice of the market for people who want the company's buzzwords of speed, security and simplicity. Over time, the legion of Chrome OS fans will grow, and Google will look at its operating system as a success, not a failure....
Here are five reasons Google Chrome OS will succeed....

We Need Chrome
TG Daily's Mark Everett Hall says:
Although a big fan of Mac OS X (10.5.8), Windows XP (sans malware), Ubuntu (8 for me, thank you) and looking forward to playing with Windows 7, I think it's time the industry had a truly new operating system, one built with the Web as its foundation. That OS appears to be Chrome.....
Chrome is said to go from boot to user login in 7 seconds. Seven! Imagine all of the electricity in the world that will be saved because people actually will turn off their computers because they no longer dread the wait time to boot them up each day....

Maybe Instead of Two Cars, You Just Need a Car and a Bicycle
Daring Fireball says:
One thing that strikes me about Chrome OS and Litl is that neither bother trying to do everything Windows or Mac OS X can do. Not even close. I don t think either even bothers trying to serve as one's primary computer.
The idea that they re-designed to serve as secondary computers is a big part of the opportunity I see for new Web-focused OSes. I think that's one of the implicit factors that define what people call netbooks . How many people use one of those as their one and only computer?

Chrome OS - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, And How It Fits In With Windows, Mac And Linux
ZNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes says:
I've had a little time to think about Google s vision for the OS and how it fits in with Windows, Mac and Linux....
There s a lot I like about Chrome OS because it sounds different enough and radical enough to maybe get people thinking a little differently about what an OS is and how it relates, how to secure it, how it interacts with the hardware and how the user interacts with the it.....
[But] It's not all good stuff...

Google ChromeOS: It's Basically A Modified Browser That Runs Web Apps
DownloadSquad's Brad Linder says:
So what exactly is Chrome OS? It's an operating system based on a web browser called... Google Chrome. The idea is that you won't have to (or be able to) install a single application directly on your PC. Rather, all of your apps will be run from the web and all of your data will be stored in the cloud.....
