Screen shots of Google's Chrome OS leaked?

Bouncing around on the web earlier today, I came across this: http://gizmodo.com/5339157/is-this-the-first-real-screenshot-of-chrome-os ...

Now, let me be the first to say that I love competition and I feel that's the only way this country's (and the world's) economy stays strong - so a serious competitor to Windows must be present by that logic and Apple simply doesn't get enough units into consumers' or businesses' hands. So, on that note, I am excited that another OS with some solid PR and momentum behind it is on the horizon. On the other hand, I really dislike the Chrome browser that Google released a number of moons ago and so I hesitate to get behind Google's new OS full bore.

And with all that - who even knows if these peeks are real? It's entirely possible they are not. Still, something to stew about.
