Google Chrome OS?

In an article on the NY Times, Google announced last night it's plans to replace Windows in the smaller netbook laptops. For an OS that is bound within a web browser, I guess it depends on how it is able to interface with the hardware on how it will affect gaming on those computers. Microsoft has already lost a lot of OS share to Linux, especially on the server side and gaming has been gradually taking off on the Linux side as well with increasing gaming support utilizing WINE, now on version 1.1.25, which includes many virual memory and game fixes, including a sound fix for WoW.
