I could see ChromeOS converging w/ Android into a single platform that allowed for android app emulation while running x86_64 apps natively.
I realize they're completely separate teams, but at what point do they converge to provide a greater value-add to the product?
What user is going to drop $1200 on a machine that only lets you browse the web? Unless GOOG plans on providing some large backend for virtualization or offloading CPU processing what's in it for the "power" user.
There's more to this than we're privy to. I don't see a user needing this kind of horse power for just cloud-based applications. That doesn't make sense.
