It will only come on specific hardware designed for it (think Apple and Mac OS). You could try the open-source version, Chromium OS, but currently the source code has to be compiled.

Open source improves security. The incredibly large number of people working on it constantly will prevent any chance in hell some wannabe hacker has at editing the source to slip right in. I dare you: hack into a Linux computer through Chrome. If you succeed. If you succeed, then you can appreciate the magnitude of the task. Now think about how to do that on a OS designed by Google, that has so little processes on it, that there is almost no design gaps, and has been overseen be about two hundred thousand hackers who are better than you. Hackers would be wasting their time trying to get through that. The ones that do are one in a million, and would have no reason to hack into your computer. So the odds of you getting a virus for windows in a five year period is about .998 The odds for Google's would be about .01 and that's pushing it. I forgot to comment on security.

There is a reason why they mention phones and computers merging. Soon, you will ALWAYS be online. Is the reasoning for this new browser/OS starting to make sense. If not, let me try again. YOU-WILL-ALWAYS-BE-ONLINE-EVEN-WHEN-IN-ANTARCTICA. This is the future. This is a REAL OS. You will have full functionality of a PC in the palm of your hands, and you will have TERABYTES of data ALL-OF-THE-TIME. Google is taking advantage of the internet, and they are trying to use it to it's full potential: infinitum. And for all of you concerned about privacy, read this, it's funny: http://www.theonion.com/articles/google-responds-to-privacy-concerns-with-unsettlin,16891/ But seriously, it is against the law and constitution. They will ask for permission, like always, and all you have to do is deny. They are not the Orwellian Big Brother that everyone fears, and if they were, the government would tear them down in a heartbeat. It's a power struggle, and if you don't keep up, no one waits up. Before you post stupid comments, read up on it. This is outside of the realm of opinion, and whoever wrote this article had no clue how the concepts actually worked. Just another idiot with an opinion. This OS will be a godsend in the coming years. There is a reason why they mention phones and computers merging. Soon, you will ALWAYS be online.

As for Hackers ROFLMAO-ing, Chrome OS is built on a very strong layer of open source code which is already powering massive targets. The linux kernel is already powering the NYSE, and Google itself. Cryptographic signing is a great concept in theory, but in the case of other cryptographically secured systems such as the Apple iPhone, it can be circumvented by hardware level flaws. Chrome patches that by making cryptographic signatures as part of the computer's hardware. You _can_ go offline. HTML5 has an Offline Cache manifest system, Google Gears has LocalServer. Nothing is really forcing you to be online. For instance, in Firefox. Go to a site (this one?) and then close the tab. Got to File->Work Offline, check that and unplug your internet connection. Go to this site again. What happens? It actually *works*.
