Google = liberal front company

Exactly. One of the many reasons to go with Linux or XP on a netbook.
GoogleOS IS Linux. Currently it's Ubuntu.
I've got it running in a VM and after you figure out a way to get past the browser and into the OS, it's a pretty standard installation of Ubuntu.
Basically it's just Linux that boots up into the Chrome browser instead of a desktop. Just like a Cisco router boots up into a proprietary application rather than a Bourne shell.
Microsoft is just as liberal.
