Analysis: Google's efforts to dislodge Microsoft Windows with Chrome OS don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.

The cards are on the table. The cat is out of the bag. The twist ending has, well, twisted. Google is finally getting into the PC operating system market ... for real. And not just with some Android port on steroids. Chrome OS will be something new, a platform that stands apart from, and in some cases competes with, the company's nascent mobile device OS.

My take? It has an ice cube's chance in Hell of succeeding.
