Your Google OS computer won't have it, but the super computers at Google will (secretly) be running Windows 7, and THEY will run direct X for you. ;) Caid. 444 To the comment about not having it’s own direct X, you’re missing the point.

New technologies created by Google such as Google Gears and Native Client basically set things in stone that this OS won't be reliant on the "Cloud". Especially Native Client which everyone has dubbed as a Flash and Silverlight killer as it runs Native C code and uses actual processor power. Chrome means alot for gaming but not in the same vein as OnLive, games run on Chrome OS will actually have system requirements. I think the huge killer here is more of the capabilities of Native Client than things like Flash and streaming games from a super computer, especially since apps coded in Native Client can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac, Chrome OS and soon on Android.

Furthermore without technologies such as Direct X it will never be taken seriously as a gamers OS.
