Google's announcement of Chrome OS hasn’t quite riled Intel’s feathers, if Michael Chen, director of Intel's embedded sales group (Asia-Pacific), can be taken for his word. As Chrome OS will primarily be targeted at MID devices, netbooks and nettops, it will always be on collision course with Moblin. For those of you who don’t know, Moblin is an open source OS that Intel developed for the above named device categories. "Our long-term goal is providing hardware for devices with different operating systems... more competition will drive up more innovations and that's good for consumers." Michael Chen said. Intel’s lack of concern is not entirely unprecedented, for companies usually greet a rival’s product with either customary skepticism or dubious unconcern. (Certified fake screenshot below)

Google is an AD driven enterprise. Be prepared for an onslaught of ad's covering your desktop from end to the other making yor PC look like a subscription to vogue magazine. And it's comin to thier android mobile platform too. AD's and more AD's. People will love the "free" feel to it but will eventually go the way of NET ZERO if anyone remembers them, because people will get tired of the ad's.

Google's revenue is in AdSense, not in the browser itself. Just where did you think they got their funding from anyway?
But no, the OS is not likely to be littered with ads.
