Google's Official Blog introduces Google Chrome OS as "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks." As per the blog Google Chrome OS has been existing for almost 9 months!!
Here are some other key things mentioned in the blog:
"designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, we're announcing a new project that's a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. .....
....... Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project.....
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. ........for Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates...........
The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel...........
Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. .......
We hear a lot from our users and their message is clear — computers need to get better. People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them...........
We have a lot of work to do, and we're definitely going to need a lot of help from the open source community to accomplish this vision. We're excited for what's to come and we hope you are too. Stay tuned for more updates in the fall and have a great summer."
