Chrome (Beta) version is available for download. It is a good use for netbook if you are completely sure that you will have high speed internet readily available. Chrome OS is not the replacement for Windows and if you do things offline, you are doomed. Think about this, we have free OS like Ubuntu, OpenSuSe, and others and I think none of them have changed the market share of Microsoft so far and none of them are considered as serious competitor to Windows. And, Chrome is not different thank any other linux OS, after all it's build on top of Monolithic Linux. 

 The other thing about Chrome is that it requires google service. This will allow them to collect more private data about everyone and who knows may be they will start charging for it after we become dependent on them. I for one will never trust any companies to hold excessive information about myself in cloud. After all any piece of software can have glitches and your very own private information can end up being searchable in google (people's personal voicemail were searchable online due to software glitch in google <http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/19/random-users-google-voice-mail-is-searchable-by-anyone/>). 

About how this change country like Nepal, I don't think it will. We have a lot to catch up in things like high speed internet, fiber optic, and peace before we move on to something that is still under Beta.
