LibreOffice and Skype are available for ChromOS I believe. I don't know about Spotify (I think it has a Chrome browser app) and am pretty sure that I tunes isn't compatible. I guess you could have a Linux distro in dual boot or even an MS dual boot. You can run a remote link to your powerful MS, Mac or Linux box back home and get some more functionality out of a chromebook but it sounds like a hassle. But there isn't much of anything that ChromeOS brings to the table that doesn't have a more robust set of applications for Mac or PC, it might have some stuff that isn't available in Linux but I'm sure that Linux wins out more than it losses.
