Impatience to wait for Chrome OS ?
Take a look at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv32N3oTsGQ).
You can download the Live CD, run it in a Virtual Machine and you can even network boot it.

vSean,

Google's "muscle" is definitely the key. Millions are already using web based GMail, Docs, & Google Apps, and with Gears providing offline and other additional functionality per app it makes for a perfect Linux distro for the user desktop. Less admin and support needed on the client OS with more functionality. Just add a VDI client for the corporate desktop!

Like you, I would be happy with either Ubuntu or Chrome OS (if it lives up to the hype!)

jcurtin,

Thanks for the info on Virtual Bridges. I was not aware of this Linux client alternative

I would love to see a Chrome takeover of the desktop. Between Chrome and Ubuntu, companies have some very compelling options for a solid linux desktop. But we still need the apps to come along. Google's muscle will be helpful here and help give a little more weight behind the prospect of a linux desktop in the enterprise.

Chrome Browser rocks. That's for sure. Simple, fast, reliable. It's been fast adopted in the place where I work, because of the fast speed of the browser. I'm looking forward to see the Google OS in action.

There is also a question TS too. The OS should have the latest TS client pre-installed for TS connections. There is still more clients usint TS than VDI (at least where I live). -:)
