considering their Google Chrome browser for linux is deemed 
unstable (use it) and it theres nothing unstable about Google 
Chrome (for Linux) I'd assume ChromeOS isn't too bad.

Also, is there any software already in the operating system (ex. 
video player, pidgin, etc) or is just Google applications?
