@Adewale Oshineye Not necessarily. It could be leak from some alpha tester, but I don't believe it really is...

@angrykeyboarder - TivoOS is "a Linux based OS". OpenWRT is "a Linux based OS". Android is "a Linux based OS". The Linux kernel supports a much bigger ecosystem than the traditional Linux distributions represent. ChromeOS could be radically different to any of the distributions you've listed above - and if you read Google's statements carefully I think you'll see there is a good chance it will.

Google has already stated that ChromeOS will be a customized Linux distribution with some differences compared to all other distros: it will be a bit simplified so as to be easier to use and will have a custom Window Manager (which I guess is why Google works together with NVidia). So, yeah, that may not be a final "ChromeOS" per se, but it could be a real "beta version" (like the first betas of Vista that seemed more like an "XP+" version of Windows).
