What about it? What's so special about that OS comparing to any other Linux
based OS?

Chrome OS is the feared Web OS named.

Web applications are platform neutral.  Hopefully reducing the need of people to
use Wine.   So in one way a competitor.  Other way assistance.

Big thing here is chromium os is the core source code to the chrome os that is
not released yet.   So you will still be able to interface with the chrome os
online services threw chrome/chromium on windows linux mac .. .

chrome os is a web-browser platform.   No more and no less lockin than using the
other online services to store data.   Most people don't watch the video
carefully enough about the chrome presentation they insert a usb key part way
through to upload data.  It appear the core OS is locked from alteration.  But
you can still insert and get data from a USB key.   So maybe if sane ness exists
be able to insert a usb key/drive into a chrome os device and download all your
data off the online services if you don't trust them for backup.

Lets see how it plays out.
