Google's First Operating System
The company announced Google Chrome OS on its blog Tuesday night, said lower-end PCs called Netbooks from unknown manufacturers will launch it in the second half of 2010. Linux will cover the open-source part, but the applications will run online.
In other words, Google has taken yet another big step against the Microsoft Market.
"Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the Web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small Netbooks to full-size desktop systems," Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, and Linus Upson, engineering director, said in the blog post.
Google is talking to Netbook partners now, and the project will become open-source "soon." It will run on members of the x86 and ARM processor families, Google said.
Google declined to comment on its plans beyond the blog posting.
"Any time our users have a better computing experience, Google benefits as well by having happier users who are more likely to spend time on the Internet," Upson and Pichai said.
There were many hints of the First Google's Operating System. But there may be some plugins i guess so as to serve the offline users and let me tell you this Operating system will be based on web browser"Chrome" and will run on all web applications like Google apps and docs.
