Google sneaks Chrome OS into Windows 8, prays to internet gods for increased web app adoption

After a long lull, Google has finally revealed its next play for Chrome OS: Slipping the Chrome-based operating system into Windows 8, like a Trojan horse. The new alpha version of Chrome for Windows 8 is essentially Chrome OS: Open it in the Metro interface, and you get a multi-window interface, with a taskbar and app launcher, that looks and feels a lot like Chrome OS. With development and adoption of Chrome OS seemingly at a standstill, is this Google's gambit to finally push its other operating system into the hands of consumers.
