I like the Chrome browser - but oddly it works fine in Windows XP Media Center 2005 - but has the most erratic and vexing problems running on Vista. When I get a new laptop at the end of next year, perhaps I’ll load it with Chrome OS. I have to admit, Google is rocking things.

No you need to buy new Google Chrome OS specific hardware to run it. Google is taking a leaf out of Apple's playbook. The OS and hardware are designed to work together as a single unit.
