Should Apple fear Chrome OS?

After months of waiting, Google has recently left the public to begin to see the concept, design and performance of Chrome OS at its headquarters in Mountain View, California. The implementation of the development of an operating system by the giant Google is already feared by pure definition, since Chrome OS has all the ingredients to make a good community of users.
First, is made by Google. And we all know the level of adoption who get Google products for better and for worse. Few Internet users today are not reading their emails with gmail, chat with GTalk, review your RSS feeds with Google Reader and Google have proven Wave.
Second, Chrome OS is free and open source. Linux already has this, but Chrome OS (based on Debian) is presented as an alternative to a series of free distributions which are still quite difficult for the average user.
