Google Chrome OS...how will it effect Biotech?

So in a move thats sure to challenge the long dominant Microsoft Windows (and irk Google ally, Apple), Google has officially announced the Google Chrome OS. Why should Biotechs care? Because every Laboratory uses computers to some extent, and a lot of those computers use Windows. Also, because every single PC needs its own copy of Windows XP/Vista/7, most companies are going to fork out a lot of cash for a Windows upgrade every couple of years. Whats different about Googles Chrome OS? Well, at first it will only be targeted at netbooks (i.e. a stripped down OS), but if my assumption is correct, like most other software from Google. Chrome OS will most likely be free. Yes free. And that means a lot less money spent on Windows upgrades, and more money spent on R&D. Do you think Googles Chromes OS will be able to handle the needs of most low to mid-level biotech companies? [Link]
