this os at it's current point doesn't sound like something i'd be interested in. Hopefully they make a more.. "standard" os at some point.

It's Linux underneath. Everything Linux can do, it can also do. So it is 'standard'. With the appropriate packages I'm sure you could uninstall the Chrome frontend and make it into a GNOME/KDE desktop.

I don't concider linux standard :P

Linux is often a hassle to work with compaired to windows, this looks like it's too simple.. I hope they make a os more in the veins of windows, but not quite as heavy, with some unique features and a good support of software already released. I realise that's very difficult and maybe even impossible, but it would help break the os market up some more.
