I noticed my wife has a google chrome icon on her PC, I don't know how
it got there, I certainly didn't install it for her.
I briefly looked at it and wasn't impressed, it looks just like any
google search page in opera/firefox whatever.
I cannot believe they have written a new OS from scratch, it has to
be a clone of one of the existing Linux systems if they are going to
release as GPL eventually.
In which case I cannot see the point of doing it.
