jalaffa Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 "...today, we're announcing a new project that's a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It's our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.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. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the 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. It should just work.Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform."

rashad Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well Google just touched the OS keyword again, first Android now Google Chrome OS, they're playing around M$, Windows Mobile vs Android, now Google Chrome OS vs Windows 7 for netbooks, they're getting near M$ Windows OS for desktop :fear:. I hope that Google will try to give desktop OS a shot, not that I am going to use it, but I'd like to see Microsoft & Google Fight :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 8, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 8, 2009 More tension for the consumers because of the competition. Take my prediction Chrome OS will make nightmares for Microsoft. :D :lmao: :fear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Lee Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 @ DKT & MosajiNah I don't think so. They'll probably have some google fans rave about it but the first time usually never is the charm. I'm looking forward to it but I don't expect too much. Chrome (the browser) still isn't what it should be. I think they should focus on finishing that before they take their endeavors elsewhere. Money & power is what they're going for. This isn't like the Wii going against the 3 or 360. Google isn't taking the non-competitive side imo. If they do well more power to em ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota.Ce Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think any really serious OS that want to compete with M$ needs Windows binaries compatibility. ReactOS sounds good (for 2011 or so).Rest are jokes that will never settle in people's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 11, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 11, 2009 I hope so. I don't want to change my OS provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
