No.

What would be the takeaway? "Download this .iso"?

Chrome is a web browser that any fool can install on Windows or Mac.

Chrome OS will be available soon for purchase on Chromebooks.

with unity in natty narwhal release, there was an article in slashdot.org titled Is Canonical the Next Apple? (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F11%2F 04%2F29%2F1357225%2FIs-Canonical-the-Next-Apple&rct=j&q=is%20canonical%20second%20apple&ei=3LbYTZXdO5GurAf2_IzvBQ&usg=AFQjCNHjYv81TVMaf7pu2RfC8Mp3pKH74A&sig2=4mO3P0DTA90vj_XwI7bDXg&cad=rja)


Ubuntu can be successfull on commercial front with some end user friendliness and of course with a lady gaga commercial.

I'd love it if Canonical were to be the next Apple. Can't wait for the Ubuntu store with a whole bunch of designed-just-for-Ubuntu laptops and guaranteed-to-always-work-with-all-future-releases-of-Ubuntu peripherals. When's that supposed to be happening?

Forget Unity and forget the window buttons on the left: If Ubuntu made a commercial with Lady Gaga, I'd move to Fedora.
