You are correct about the Hard Drive thing so I apologise, but I believe it is limited to SSDs only. I realise the core of Chrome is GNU 
But the Google video seemed to suggest you wouldn't have more access than a web browser, which is why I have been mislead.
When I first heard about Chrome OS and it's partners I got incredibly excited. Google have been using closed source software on Linux for a long time. When I heard about Google partnering with Adobe to create Chrome OS, the first thing I thought was "Photoshop for Linux! <3" This was long before I realised that unneeded hype is created around tech, especially in the blogs. I then started to think deeper into its effects, one of these were the huge increase of user base in Linux. I will be interested too see how many disappointed users there are when they find out they can't sync their shiny little bricks with Chrome.
