Game makers will write for whatever platform they see customers using, so if consumers pick up Chrome heavily, the games will come. But don’t expect binary file games written for one platform to work with another – no system does that completely, though Linux is the best at it (Wine).

Most users have no idea what “support” technically entails, or they would know better than to expect it. You need a compatible binary program, or to compile it from source on the desired system, and the source has to be compatible with that system’s methods/resources. Mac doesn’t support any Windows binary programs at all, period. Windows doesn’t support any Mac binary programs at all, period. Binaries are simply not compatible, and you need a binary for Windows for a program to run on Windows. Surprisingly, Linux can run many Windows binaries, including some games, but these are exceptions due to open-source creativity. It’s just one of the ways Linux out-performs Windows.

“i hope they support PC gaming completely…”

Once again, this OS is targeted at *netbooks*. Even if it has full Windows compatibility (doubtful) are you really going to have a frag-fest on your eee?

[...] Google’s Chrome OS Will Be Shown This Week Rumors have been swirling for days about the possible delivery of a beta version of Google’s much-discussed Chrome OS this week, as we noted last Friday. I pinged a few people at Google to get some clarity, and while they didn’t provide me with a specific answer as to whether the download will arrive this week, they did send me an invitation to a press event at Google’s Mountain View campus on Thursday morning, billed as “an update on our progress with Google Chrome OS.” In other words, it sounds like we’ll get to try it very soon.
