A Walk In The Cloud: My First Day With Google’s Chrome OS

Judging by the comments on that thread I think that it was a pretty safe bet when google scrapped Wave that people were going to be more skeptical of google announcements in the future.

Of course, free hardware is never bad, I wonder how long it will be before some enterprising character figures out a way to put UNR on it, I've heard Chrome-OS be described as a scaled down Ubuntu so this should not be all that hard.

I applied for the chrome netbook the other day through the pilot website and I was surprised there was no "landing page" after you hit submit saying "thank you for applying, etc." It just posted to the same page with no error messages, no nothing. Was it like that for everyone or did my application not go through? Just kinda concerned because there's no confirmation of any kind.
