1. Google ChromeOS is not Android.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_OS#Relationship_to_Android
ChromeOS is a rather anaemic desktop Linux distro that's heavily reliant
on Google's proprietary Chrome Web browser and pushes the user towards 
Google online hosting of data (with offline caching of many SaaS apps' 
files).

2. Ken's supposition is that Amazon selling a Linux-based netbook is
significant progress towards lessening of Microsoft Corporation market
share.
