Google Chrome OS

Do you think Google has taken this quest for total domination too far? Do you think they'll really be able to join the game of operating systems that are monopolized by Microsoft, Linux and Apple?
What features about this new OS that they claim is solely internet based, do you think will be lacking?
Would you stick with Microsoft because it's already established or try out Google's attempt at the OS game?

Browser Tab Whore?

I currently have 32 tabs open in 1 Chrome window, 7 tabs open in a 2nd Chrome window and 10 open tabs in an IE window.
Now before all you nerdy computer savants start lashing your tongues at me about slow processes, loading times and phishing vulnerability and other various, legitimate reasons not to have that many open tabs, I must inform you, I've also been bitten by the nerd bug, I am well aware, and my computer runs just fine as I know how to maintain it. But thanks for the concern. ;)

All I'm simply wondering is, how many tabs do you currently (or on average) have open at any given time on your computer of choice? And on which browser do you find gives you the least lag issues?
