Personally, I've been scratching my head for a while at why Google is so dead-set on their "Chromebook" idea when they would have a great chance at killing off Microsoft for good if they put in some effort to create a great desktop version of Android.

I got the impression is an internal thing of Google. ChromeOS seems to have won many political battles there.

As a Linux fan I prefer they stick to ChromeOS. It's just a custom Gentoo. Many of their devices support Coreboot, which makes them excellent machines to run my favorite Linux distro.
