Ubuntu and Chrome

Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) just posted their excitement of Google Chrome OS on their blog. They are lending some development to Google's aid with the operating system. Here is what they said regarding the consumer:
On the consumer side, people will ask about the positioning of Chrome OS and Ubuntu. While the two operating systems share some core components, Google Chrome OS will provide a very different experience to Ubuntu. Ubuntu will continue to be a general purpose OS running both web and native applications such as OpenOffice and will not require specialised hardware.
So 2010 looks set to be a very exciting year. In addition to delivering Ubuntu experiences with both existing and new OEM partners, we will be working with Google on Chrome OS based devices.
