Launched nine months ago, more than 30 million years already use the Google Chrome browser regularly. Today, Google announced a new project which they describe as "the natural extension of Google Chrome" : the Google Chrome Operating System.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.
"Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS," Sundar Pichai, VP Product Management and Linus Upson, Engineering Director wrote on the official Google blog. "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. The new operating is based on Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using most web technologies. 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.
Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. 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.

Google definitely has the money to do so. Lets see if they have the right resources to make a good OS.

Read the first two lines:"Launched nine months ago, more than 30 million years already use the Google Chrome browser regularly."30 million years. This thing came out before the human race even existed. LOL!Being serious now, a new OS on the market... got to see it to belive it, but some good c0mpetition against Microsoft's crappy OS and Apple's even crappier one can't be bad, not bad at all.Wish them luck.

Huh, linux eh. Im afraid I have to hope this fails miserably. If mainstream people start using linux then linux viruses will be made. Stick to your windows and macOSX nubs.@ 9:23Directx? Hell no this is a linux os and aimed at taking some of windows' market share theres no way ms will ever port it to this.

They nead to make a c0mpletely new OS, not 1 that just uses linux, there are many linux OS out there, most are not even for PC's. I used to work fixing DVRs for security cameras, they used linux.To be honest, i dont think anything will beat windows 7, i have the RC version and its nothing like the sht that usually c0mes from MS. It actually works well, and even with all the visuals and features, it runs better than XP. I think MS are reaching the peak of what they can actually do with an OS, i dont know how an OS could be any better than win7 and the fact that its still an RC is saying somethin.

i would love to see a new os. im allways interseted in new linux distros, but something new and from the ground up would be interesting. i like windows for the fact that it runs everything i need, but is that a good or bad thing?

If its built on linux then it will suck ass! everyone knows linux is for geeks and nerds who don't get laid!

OK, so if it's being developed as a multi-platform system, will it run Windows/Linux/MacOS software? That's the major question, as far as I can see it, because if it is it'll be a killer app.

I wouldn't trust google, this thing will be loaded with spyware, I don't care if they say its opensource.
