Isn’t this just Google Chrome for Linux?

Not quite; Google says it has its own windowing system, for example. But I agree that it may still be a hard sell.

There's a big difference between a new fancy browser for Linux and a completely new OS for rich GUI apps like Mac OS or Windows. I think the marketing people are getting a little over excited. For netbooks though it might be all some people need. However if the Windows Chrome browser (sorry, "OS") is anything to go by, it won't be widely adopted once people realise its limitations. Most people I know with netbooks have ditched the bundled Linux ditro for Windows XP. Indeed I am running Windows 7 on an Ion nettop, why would I want some limited Google OS?
