Google Chrome OS

 

I know that most of us uses the operating systems provided by Microsoft on our PC’s and laptops…but here is something which is going to start a new era in the history of computers, because the supremacy of Microsoft is going to be challenged by another giant of the web world GOOGLE (yeh you heard it right).

All of you must have used the new and efficient browser by the web tycoon Google—Google Chrome (If not then do try it). Already, over 30 million people use it regularly. Google Chrome is designed for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, Google announced a new project that's a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It's an attempt by Google to re-think what operating systems should be.

Google Chrome OS is an open source(wow..), lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. 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 (what more we can imagine). The OS will be designed 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 they did for the Google Chrome browser, they 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.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. 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.

So only time will tell that Google's this venture will go how far, but we must all remember that Google has never failed earlier in its any venture(as far as i know…). But that's a guarantee that after the introduction of the OS by Google, Microsoft is sure to suffer some loss.

Stay tuned for more updates……
