hoax. From the bottom of the page:

Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio. See the license.

Anyway, this is old. I saw this few days ago. I'll wait until the REAL Chrome OS comes out.

I would like Google to ban those who intentionally published those images for implying that it's the Chrome OS from Google and creating nothing but confusion and wasting peoples time.

Am I the only one that thinks Chrome OS is going to suck?

When I read about it being based on a browser interface and relying on web apps, I wonder what use it will be away from a network. This whole cloud computing thing seems way way way overhyped.

Why is the link still there? I'm surprised Google hasn't removed it.
