"Hate" would be too strong, but I thought it was a stupid article. What Google is releasing seems to be a Linux kernel with a new window manager running Chrome.

I don't think that's nearly as difficult as he makes out. He's right that the netbook market is tiny, but it's also poorly served by existing operating systems, so it might be a reasonable place to start. And it certainly makes sense for Google to make using webapps easier, because their core business is based on all that traffic. Anyhow, the article felt to me like it was trying too hard -- lots of hyperbole but few ideas.
