Ubuntu to Chrome OS

Because of the problems and hassles my laptop gave me, I'm no longer interested in having a computer with an Ubuntu partition. However, I did gain a huge appreciation for what Canonical does, and for open source software in general. It's quite impressive to see support for a free, open source OS that has a growing user base.

Lately, I'm becoming more interested in what is to come through Chrome OS since it is integrated between all Google products. The apps in the Web Store are impressive, and the functionality as a solo OS is increasing quite fast. Of course, you can simulate Chrome OS right now by opening Chrome browser and never closing it, but the system is still running from Windows.
