Sure there is Mac OS and Linux as well, but really no other OS has the plethora of applications both commercial and open source to rival Windows (yet). Google's new upcoming OS won't be replacing most people's desktop operating systems anytime soon, you won't be able to play games on it for a start. Sure a cloud based operating system is a great idea, but unless it is for a tablet PC / Netbook or Laptop it isn't of much use; a cloud based OS won't be able to support gaming and some applications that rely on propietry operation system APIs and languages to function correctly. Google switching to Linux makes sense, but they won't ever be able to completely migrate to Linux for quality and testing reasons. Also, most operating systems are quite secure, it's the software that interfaces with the operating system itself that is the cause of most exploits in all major operating systems and rarely within the operating system itself. Cloud based computing still has a little while to go before it can truly replace an operating system. Like it or not Windows is the predominant OS.

While it may attract a laughter from some people, it's not going to do anything with the final release. On the other hand, I elaborated points on why we shouldn't just let Google OS hyped beyond what it deserves.
