Google taking its talents to the desktop with Chrome OS, Cr-48 notebook revealed

It was a big "what if scenario" that married the concept of cloud-computing and a web browser as the only components one would need for personal computing. Now out of the skunkworks and into the mainstream, the Chrome OS is being realized as a competitor to Windows, Mac and Linux.
