400-500 MB serious? If that is compressed with squashfs, it would be practically as big as Ubuntu, with less functionality. That's quite a bit of space consumed for netbooks, though it's way less than Windows. Say, I think netbooks are better off with tiny operating systems, such as Puppy Linux (80 MB).

Sidenote: Puppy can mount NTFS. It's pretty useful for deleting invalid entries in the MFT that would be impossible to remove with anything in Windows. Possible side effects unknown.

GMMan it's base on Ubuntu, Puppy Linux is good I try it on a USB,I use Linux to fix XP Delete spyware, backup if it give up & need to go to new it the only way some times,as for windows 7 like 16 GB but takes 8 GB with A-V,
I wonder how well this Chrome OS will go over in Europe? An OS that only has a browser where bundling the browser is a violation of anti-trust rulings!
