Yep, Linux. A coworker was saying that "it's just going to be another Linux distribution", and I was arguing against that, but found that they are

The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.
Of course, there's a lot more to a Linux distribution than just the kernel, and I wouldn't be surprised if their userland was totally different, but Linux is certainly involved.
