When it is released open-source later this year, Google’s Chrome OS will only add to what DistroWatch acknowledges is a “bewildering choice and ever increasing number of Linux distributions [that] can be confusing for those who are new to Linux.”

Sounds like Linux to me.

When it becomes available I will just buy a 80 buck netbook hard drive and reprogram my Acer to run it. If it seems to work well I will then re-program it to dual boot.
Mac users never ever try this, opening the case will only confuse you and it will void the warranty. Besides it will destroy your fantasy when you find that inside it is one of the cheaper Intel boards or even a cheaper brand, an off the shelf video card, overstated power supply, and all of has a made in China sticker on it. And while I am at it never ever go to Newegg and price the parts as it will probably total at at somewhere between 5 and 7 hundred dollars. And you thought Vista was expensive.
