Today the internet was abuzz about Google saying they will come out with their own Operating System, Google Chrome OS. As said on the Google blog last night, “the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, we’re announcing a new project that’s a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It’s our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.” Google said that there new Operating system will be made for netbooks, which will be made available the second half of 2010. They also said that the OS will open-source its code later this year. One of the most interesting statements they said on the blog was, “…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…” Now days that seems almost impossible, especially with an OS based mostly on the web, never the less it is very intriguing. The general sense of the OS is “open wide” let everyone in and everyone out. They say it will be easy to develop for and can have programs written for it which can also be cross platform. Over all it looks like a great project I just hope it comes out as strong as they say it will.
