i like it!! lets see what design programs they can suport it 
I think it looks amazing, exactly what I would want from a netbook OS....
haven't watched this exact video (too lazy) but ... 7 second load up, constant uploading to the 'cloud', all in the browser I use as it is, easy opening of different file types, all apps web based, ability to plug in cameras / etc. and use easily, and everything so smooth and nice.
What more would you want when you're on the move.
Never meant to replace a proper computer OS...

Chrome OS is literally no good for me as it wouldn't even be able to handle the most basic of my work requirements.
However for things like a smartbook which is basically a netbook running on a mobile phone cpu such as the 1GHz+ snapdragon (or the tegra equivelent) this could be ideal as they can have an 'always on' internet connection - the other option is a linux/windows ce/mobile os as windows x86/x64 will not run on arm cpu's.
There is one thing that I'm not keen on and that's the fact that ALL data is stored online which to me seems a little bit of a privacy issue, also you're kind of screwed if they ever decide to change to a charge for use system later down the line.

Until the web has high end graphics there's still going to be a need for things like games, 3d and graphics type programs. I can however see it moving onto the little boxes you stick under the tv for a media extender. You get a couple of people writing a decent all encompassing media layer for it and you can have a pretty lightweight os for them, especially when you consider the amount of browsers etc being added to things like the wii, ps3, tv's etc.
i think it's quite exciting.
it's web widgets on a computer, so it's basically like having an iphone on your monitor!
bad thing is it executes everyone who doesnt have great internet, and also that it is obviously limited to what apps are supplied on it.
good things are that it's not annoying to work with, it's simple and not in yo face. also, it's free!
