I love Ubuntu.

I don't have a problem so much with ChromeOS. It's nice enough and I would have no problem using it, but any computer that comes with ChromeOS is locked down and more resistant to user changes than a Microsoft computer.

Sure there are ways around it, but I can't support that.

Edit: When I say "locked down" I don't mean applications or how the OS works, I mean locking down the hardware so it's harder to install other operating systems on it. I don't have a problem with how ChromeOS actually functions or some of the criticisms of how applications work in Chrome. It's different for some applications, but not bad.

The only feature that would sway my vote is if ChromeOS ran standard Linux applications in addition to Chrome Apps. If it did that I would view it as one of the better Linux distributions.
