We are a long way from that. "Chrome" is the cart before the horse. The whole concept is predicated on fast, reliable, available, untethered, affordable web connections.

Like it or not, Windows is the standard computer OS and most software is written for it. Linux and Mac have options to allow you to run a limited selection of Windows programs in a virtual machine, but I doubt that a Google OS would go that far. So you're going to have an OS with an even smaller market share than Linux. I predict that there will be a few aps written for it, like Chrome and maybe a simple word processor, instant messager and maybe a BitTorrent client, but that's about it. Any system sold with it installed will either be reformatted and have Windows installed, or will be treated as the computer equivalent of a WebTV box. After a couple/few years, it will be quietly discontinued and all three of its remaining users will silently mourn its passing. This will fail for one simple reason: It won’t run Windows software.

With this and many other products and services that they've provided over the years it's not a case of "we don't have enough" it's a case of "we didn't want to use what existed before because we didn't like it and the way that it works".
