Google To Introduce A New Operating System

Google is planning to roll out a new Operating System dubbed Google Chrome OS. The aim of the project is to develop a Linux-based, lightweight OS that revolves around web based activity and productivity, instead of the traditional desktop environment. Chrome OS will feature the familiar minimalistic User Interface Google has long employed in its search engine and other applications. Google is first aiming to use the lightweight OS on netbooks and laptops, with the eventual goal of moving on to the now dwindling in number desktop computer.

Thoughts on the announcement or the project itself?

I know there's going to probably be a good deal of anti-Google sentiment, but first they announce Gmail and the other Lab apps are out of beta, and now this announcement? I have to say, I'm quite intrigued, and definitely excited to see and try this new project. Somewhere is Redmond, a company is getting a bit nervous :D
