Google Chrome OS will be Reveled This Year

Google has made it intensions clear to bless the computing world with a new open source OS named “Google Chrome OS”

According to the Google's latest blog post the Google Chrome Operating System is Google’s attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.

The open source, lightweight operating system will be initially launched for Netbooks. And these Net books will be available for the consumers in the second half of 2010.

The Key aspects of the Chrome OS will be speed, simplicity and security. Completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS will reduce users’ intervention required to deal with viruses, malware and security updates; thus improving overall experience.

The OS will be designed to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get user onto the web in a few seconds.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and Google is 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.

With this said about the Google Chrome OS I can wait to get my hands on the source code and hopefully make some useful contribution to the OS world.
