Chrome OS
Google gave notice that it's developing its own PC operating system initially targeted at netbooks, those pint-size, inexpensive PCs currently selling like hot cakes. Google is meeting with hardware manufacturers and hopes to have it on computers by the second half of 2010.
Google's goal is to be the opposite of today's operating systems — especially Windows, which commands 90% of the market. The ubiquitous software has a reputation as virus-prone and complicated. Google says its Google Chrome Operating System will be faster, smoother and lightweight.
The New OS will be Fast and lightweight!
The new Chrome OS is expected to work well with many of the company's popular software applications, such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Maps.
It will be fast and less memory-intensive, enabling users to access the Web in a few seconds, Google said. The new operating system is based on open-source Linux code, which allows third-party developers to design compatible applications.
