It seems to me that the press is presenting this as Google Chrome OS vs Microsoft Windows 7 etc. When really its a competitor for Windows Azure which is another cloud based platform.
Of course Google isn't doing a very good job setting expectations for it either. I would be selling it as an alternative to Microsoft's cloud computing vision, where developers are required to host there apps in Microsoft's cloud if you want to leverage the Windows Azure's eco system.

Google Chrome is the competitor for Windows 8. Hasn't Ballmer admitted that Windows 7 will be the last traditional desktop Windows?
