I think it's a great idea. It's just for browsing the internet and using a few other basic applications.
People like my mom, dad, and grandparents have no use for windows. They use the printer, and surf the internet.... nothing else. There is no reason for them to have anything else, they will never use it. But, they still have to pay the $100 extra bucks for Windows Home if they buy a new computer. Whether or not it comes bundled in the system or not, you're still paying that $100 license fee for Windows .
It might be a worthwhile Operating System for a Netbook. Its a cloud OS, so there is obviously concerns with data security, response time, and other stuff.

Agreed with Cleffy here. The biggest use for a chrome OS will be netbooks, and business, at least in todays day and age. However, google is looking to the future, as usual.
Right now, netbooks, and things like internet cafes, those internet stations, or anything of that nature will benefit huge from these things. Having an account for ChromeOS, that, let's say, can lock to your other google accounts, and you can login to any computer, anywhere, running ChromeOS, and access what you were doing, your stuff, whatever. Amazing idea.
However cloud is still a newer concept to the consumer world. People are still getting accustomed to such things, and as developers we are also still learning, changing, adapting, etc.
Within the next decade however, I think ChromeOS is situated to be a great launchpad into the future of the internet. Through google, and many other web API developers, we are slowly moving everything we do onto the internet, and as the decade passes, I don't think we will have a need for PCs as we see now. Not even for gaming. (See: OnLive)
