There’s Gears and I’ll bet that Chrome will eventually include an Apache HTTP server fronting a GWT-based app server running on localhost.

I remember way back when people believed that Live Mesh was going to be the dominant OS. Betting big on Silverlight or Flash against the rapidly improving performance of JavaScript engines coupled with the HTML 5 video tag, SVG-based animation/interactivity, and Android applets is just silly. Office will get pummeled by the Wave document format. That leaves Azure without a proprietary client to exploit. What makes you think that Microsoft knows how to compete on a level playing field?

Google clearly pointing to Microsoft when they say "The operating systems that browsers run were designed in an era where there was no web". But there are few questions which are unanswered like what will happen when we will go offline in Chrome OS? Can we use offline applications like iTunes or Photoshop? Can we run third party applications? How they are going to make profit from it ? I am also bit concerned whether Chrome OS will be embraced by enterprises as it is open source and web based as there is always a security issue....Just wait another thought can Chrome OS will become a global hit especially in small countries where internet is very fickle. But leaving these things aside its going to be win-win situation for the users and it will be interesting to witness the war between giants.

In about 1 year they've already captured 6% of the market, not bad when you consider Safari is still only 3%, and has been for a while.
