One more linux distro for the world, here we go again... One thing that Google does have is a huge possible customer base, and if they're willing to tailor *free* software to others *commercial* standards then a large number of parties will at least be willing to consider it. On the other hand, they've admitted to creating what equates to a web-browser of an OS, even the name follows their previous work (which is handy, but I will admit to missing my firefox plugins...), and pretty much nothing else. While this is very useful for people who "live online" as Google suggests, I'm afraid that without a "cloud" solution for my computing, I'm not willing to give up the extra functionality of an OS that a majority of professional software is developed for. Or my games. Not that you can play games on a MID in the first place... And lets not forget to tip our hats as our beneficent Google overlords as they collect more of our usage data (which legitimately does produce good results, albeit foregoing a lot of privacy...).
