Google Chromium Os

No thanks.
I don't want a piece of thrash which only runs online applications and which requires me to surrender all my data to a private company.

I would love to have it as a 2nd OS, its like 5 seconds boot time if I want to use the internets.

It'll take about that to resume from SD on Pandora, and less than that to resume from RAM.

Cold booting the Pandora will be a very, very rare thing.
 
An interesting comparison of different Linux netbook distributions:

Nice find. Seems as though Chromium OS still has a bit to go before it can outdo the others in the test. They did mention it was having some problems, so it'd be interesting to see how the results compare a year from now.
 
Yes, it's a bit unfair to compare Chrome OS in its early state.
As for cloud computing in general, I wonder why nobody mentioned Jolicloud OS, yet. It's based on Ubuntu and pretty interesting if you ask me, because it has both web based and local functions.
