The only place where I think something like Chrome OS would make sense is on thin clients in cybercafés. This way the visitor could just log in with his account in any cybercafé and have his desktop open up.
But then we have the problem again with centralisation of information, data retention, privacy and IP law that is not uncommon with Google :P
Bottom line: cloud computing as well as P2P/F2F and DRM is one of the technologies that could be great if used right and terribly terribly awful if not.
