Google has posted on their blog today that there is a Google Chrome OS in the works. This innovative OS is designed specifically for those who spent most of their time on the web. It is being created originally for netbooks and Google’s main goals include speed, ease-of-use and simplicity and security. The aim is that the end user can use turn on a netbook and be on the net in seconds and worry about viruses, malwares or malicious threats. What’s the real surprise? Open source. That’s right, just like the Android this OS will be open source so developers can create web based applications compatible for the OS. Google is working with other OEM’s to bring out their work by second half of 2010 on netbooks. This will eventually stretch out to full desktops and laptops. This OS is will be based on the Linux kernal. An advantage for the devs would be the fact that they’ll be creating web apps which means it will work across all other OS’s with a browser such as Windows, Mac and Linux.
