I don't know about this. Making a stripped down OS just for surfing might be good for netbooks now. But in 5 years a netbook will have the same computing power as a modern full size laptop or maybe even more. What then? Will people still just want a stripped down OS that can only run a browser when their netbook is powerful enough to run any application?

Apple has an awesome OS and has been around for decades, has an amazing brand image, and still they only own a portion of the OS marketplace. To think Google can come in with some stripped down free OS and challenge Microsoft is sort of silly.
