from the bbc website:
"The news could also be a blow to the open source Linux operating 
system, which had taken an early lead on netbooks, but then lost out to 
Microsoft's elderly Windows XP."

I'm slightly confused: if google chrome is linux-based (which is said 
everywhere but the bbc-website), how can it be a blow to linux? :/ :p
Anyway, it would've been nice if they developed something completely 
different, instead of making just another linux distro (which it will 
turn out to be I think).
