It appears that Google scored a PR success with their Chrome browser. In short, the promise is a web experience where web pages are allowed to behave more like desktop applications. This is done by boosting the abilities of common web pages in terms of performance, while also allowing 'plugins' to enrich the user experience of certain other pages. As it seems, the announcement shot at the heads of people who've been holding their breath for the fabled Google Operating System. However in the following text I will demonstrate that Chrome [based on what we are allowed to know] puts strain on the Designer and Developer communities, is not innovative (save for one feature), and copies ideas liberally from Google's worst enemy.

The Virtual Machine term is a bit ambiguous. When it is related to a language, it just means interpreter machine. It does not mean any kind of hardware virtualization.
There is an internal similarity in that they both interpret commands, which are not native to the processor it runs on, it may be byte-pseudo-code, generated by language compiler or binary commands by another processor.
