So the new google operating system is linux based. Great chance to spread further the knowledge and the diffusion of linux IMHO

It is pretty far from the traditional GNU/Linux userland. It is a great example of how you can take Linux kernel and make it perfectly incompatible with the rest of the distributions.

Ok, les's say it's exactly so. But anyway, it's really a great chance for the diffusion of linux, and in particular on netbooks. Do you agree?

If you want Linux as the kernel of choice in everything, sure. However the look, feel and usability do not come in the package. Okay, there is a chance for good mashups.

Can't agree. If you look at Android from the end used view, there is no Linux. It's Google Android. So why on earth would they change? It's just about driving eyeballs to Google ads.

Not sure. After all, I think it's impossible to decide how it will be, without having the chance to see even an alpha release. And even in the worst case, it will be released under an open source license. Will windows ever be?
