So, if everything you do is web based, it might be a good operating system. Underneath it is essentially a Linux variant. But Linux tends to be difficult though stable.
Google actually provides a lot of stuff that might be enough for a business. But, any current business will have a lot of software that is not web based, which means its office workers would not do well with Chrome.

Google Chrome OS is a forthcoming Linux operating system, based on Ubuntu and designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. Google announced the operating system on July 7, 2009 and made it an open source project, called Chromium OS, that November.3456
Unlike Chromium OS, which can be compiled from the downloaded source code, Chrome OS will only ship on specific hardware from Google's manufacturing partners.7 The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Chrome web browser. Because Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Internet, the only application on the device will be a browser incorporating a media player.3891011
The expected launch date for retail hardware featuring Chrome OS has slipped since Google first announced the operating system: from late 2010 to early 2011 to, by some reports, mid-2011
