Introducing the Google Chrome Operating System!
Breaking news: Google released a note saying that it is to release its first operating system for computers named Google Chrome OS by the second half of the next year.
A hope was floating on the net whether Google will design a completely new operating system for computers after they had created a brand new OS for mobile named Android. Right now, the hope has turned into a news — as Google says, its first browser was created for the next generation web-world. But Chrome still runs on the operating systems which were designed for a generation which has been passed. Now, Google is going to design a new operating system for the next generation web-world — named Google Chrome Operating System.
According to the note of Google, Google Chrome OS will initally (in mid-2010) be targeted at netbooks. It is expected that the OS for PC users will be available by the end of the next year. This will be another open-source and lightweight version of OS.
Here goes a little paragraph from the Google note:
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 Google is working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. In the Google Chrome OS, all application will automatically work and any developer can write any application using the latest technology they like. The software architecture of Google Chrome OS is — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.
A while ago when Microsoft launched its new search engine, the people around said that the competition between Google and Microsoft has just got bigger. But we forgot that it was Google — who made the competition much more difficult by entering into the most competitive market — operating system – while there are popular operating systems like Linux and Windows 7.
Of course a lot of questions are coming up to mind. But as usual, Google did not clarify everything. We have just been notified that, Google is entering the Operating System market by the second half of the next year.
What do we know
There’s no certain information about Google. But there’s some predictions. Just like:
- The OS is possibly going to be free-of-cost. Since Google said that it’s an open-source browser, there is still hope that the Google Chrome Operating System will be available at no cost.
- Advertisements maybe found on Google Chrome OS. If Google is going to release it at no cost, then there’s a prediction that Google may advertise on it. For a fresh example, while browsing your hard drive’s music files, a couple of advertisements in anywhere of the window will grab your attention to buy music online. Note: This is just a prediction. We still don’t have any clear information about this.
Can Google beat Microsoft?
With the first post of Google Chrome OS, Google just dropped a nuclear bomb on Microsoft. Now, the question is, we all know about the products of Google. Speed, simplicity, user-friendliness, security etc are the main things that makes a Google product perfect. Google said that the new OS from Google’s key aspect will be Speed, Simplicity and Security. However, we still can’t really imagine what Google is going to give us. But there’s no restriction to predict the future.
So, the question is simple. Do you think Google Chrome Operating System can beat Windows? What do you expect from Google Chrome OS?
