[Cialug] Google ChromeOS VMware image

It looks pretty cool, if only it support other software besides 
Google. I am rather impressed with the OS, for being all Google 
Apps, I know it will be great. In fact, I don't even use openOffice 
to write documents, nor do I really do anything besides programming 
and watching movies without Google.
I assume Google Chrome OS has a file manager, therefore I'd be able 
to download my movies onto it, but does anyone know if it will have 
a video player?
