Guess it will be difficult to use any pirated software in Chrome OS...

What a contrast between the approaches of Google and Apple. However nice Apple's products may be, I will steer clear, at least as long as Apple pursue their thoroughly unpleasant business model. In light of general movement in the industry towards openness, I think Apple are walking a razor's edge if they don't change their ways

@Kaplan: I think Google's reasons for being open are not entirely altruistic. Much like Microsoft providing Internet Explorer for free, there were strong business reasons for doing so (and in Microsoft's case anti-competitive ones).

As far as I'm aware the Google OS is only as open as the web apps you can access with it.

@Kaplan: an interesting viewpoint on Google's motives:

Personally, I'm quite a fan of Google's products and use many of them. I definitely think Chrome OS will have its uses for me and my family, whilst at the same time saving me time and money!
