1. The kernel doesn't include proprietary drivers (though I suspect Chrome OS's kernel will), and may not include some obscure drivers, but it does include drivers for lots of hardware makers, and not generic ones, but specific ones (ipw* and atheros, ... wireless cards, intel video, OSS nvidia and ati drivers, etc etc etc)

2. You keep assuming that because they say the linux kernel they mean only the linux kernel. You mentioned printing — why do you think CUPS won't be present? Also, I didn't say app developers would use glibc, but the chromium port will use it.
