Lame.

I quit watching halfway through when it became apparent that all he was going to do was use a puppet to insult someone he disagrees with.

If you want to read a well-argued case as to why Google Chrome OS will fail, see Farhad Manjao's piece on Slate:

I don't have a strong opinion either way on Chrome OS. I dislike Microsoft Windows (but love MS Office). I'd like to see more competition for Windows, but I question why Chrome would wildly succeed where Ubuntu Linux has only made limited ground.

Like Manjao, I also don't necessarily believe Google has any real sustainable motive to keep promoting Chrome OS. How will it make them more profitable? Android makes business sense, but Chrome ... not so much.
