I think it's still early days for those kinds of concerns. The Chrome OS
will have to face being the new contender for at least a little while, yet.
And like others have said, we want some high profile non-Apple competition
to raise awareness of the choices available. If that is achieved, it'll

An OS from google can only be a good thing for ubuntu, getting peoples
heads around the idea of alternative OSs. More high profile choices
will equal more progress. Right now almost anyone i speak to has no
idea what the OS is, and that you can even run a non apple computer on
anything but windows.

I think Google will have to look at partners in this and as Ubuntu has a
very large user base, surely, it would be foolish to ignore them. But then
again they did ignore Sun's java for Google Chrome.
With Google introducing new HTML 5 (Web application 1) goodies (Google Wave)

The telegraph have also made the same mistake as the Beeb, even worse though
is some of the so called non-linux tech news sites have made the same
presumptions.
For me is the HTML 5 standard, does that mean Google might go the
opensourced route with their media playing etc.

How many OEMs ship Ubuntu as an easily available option on
netbooks/laptops/desktops/ right now, and how many will in 2010 when
Google OS releases?
How many will Google have?
Will this make Ubuntu irrel
Haha. A blow to Linux - it IS Linux!

I generally find the Beeb's tech and IT reporting to be limited. There are
some things the Beeb does very well, but Tech isn't one of them.

But the Beeb doesn’t quite understand

Just saw this myself. How soon until we get Goobuntu or Uchromtu?
My take? Overall this will be a good thing as, increasingly, the OS will be
irrelevent therefore the OS will increasingly be Linux. Even Microsloth will
find a way to make money out of it.
Everyone's a winner!
