I personaly think it would be great with the amount of FREE software you would get with it and the fact that it would be FREE and take down Microsoft would be pretty funny too!
I think it would be a hard task to do though, but possibly a task worth doing!
What do you guys think?
EDIT: Some screenshots of what it could possibly look like!

Possibilities
We see 3 scenarios for a GoogleOS:
* A web based desktop (i.e. operating system)
* A full featured Linux distribution
* A lightweight Linux distro and/or BIOS
