Google Chrome Operating System Announced

Nine months after releasing the Google Chrome web browser that is being used regularly by more than 30 million people worldwide, and about two years after unveiling the Android platform designed for mobile systems, the company is introducing the Google Chrome OS.
The new operating system was created to enhance the web browsing experience for people using mini notebook computers and desktops, and is an extension of the Google Chrome web browser.

Sundar Pichai, VP Product Management and Linus Upson, Engineering Director, published the details about the new system on the official Google Blog, highlighting the fact that Google Chrome OS is a separate project from Android, the latter being created for running on different types of mobile devices, like smartphones, set-top boxes and netbook computers. Google Chrome OS on the other hand is for people who spend a significant amount of time on the Internet.

It’s a lightweight open-source system characterized by simplicity, speed and security, and will be introduced on netbooks in the second half of the next year.
Google Chrome OS is built as a windowing system, developed on a Linux kernel, and promises fast start-up times, minimal user interface, enhanced security architecture, and support for x86 and ARM chips.
