Hmm... it could be designed for the web from the ground up, and they could call it Chrome OS! ;P

(edit: I know what you mean, but considering how much the design of Boot to Gecko seems to have been inspired by Chrome OS, I found your comment somewhat funny.)



Yeah, I thought about that, but (A) the big draw of a mobile OS is its apps now, and Google hasn't really done anything with the Chrome Web Store in the mobile direction yet (note its absence on Chrome for Android), and (B) I was typing on a phone :)
