I'm less and less sure about the need for chrome. I can't see who would use it - Android is great on touch screen devices - If I have a keyboard and mouse I want a full OS. And I don't think thats just a geek thing. My dad hardly knows anything about PC's but he does a lot of image manipulation/book scanning on his home PC and I don't see how this could be done via the cloud. Google aren't going to want 40Gb+ of images and 40Gb+ of video uploaded! (The cloud idea works best with touch screen devices in my opinion.)
