Today i am very happy to read the Google’s Official News about Google Chrome Os.This news has made a full stop to all rumors about Google Operating System.Google(the gaint) nine months released Google Chrome which is one of the Fastest Browser.Now Google as said the new Google Chrome Os will be Linux(Secured Os) at the Core.
Having released the Google Chrome browser just nine months ago, it was a natural step in the evolution of the Mountain View-based company to dig and bury itself deeper on the desktop, going beyond producing a competitor for Internet Explorer, to providing a self-sufficient standalone equivalent to the IE and Windows bundle. And ultimately to offer a platform designed to rival Windows. For this, Google has turned to the all-time anti-Windows favorite platform, Linux . At the same time, the search giant’s focus with the new OS will be its Chrome browser. The result? Google Chrome Operating System (Google Chrome OS), planned for availability in 2010.
But while it is increasing its foothold into what is traditionally Microsoft territory, anchoring itself deeper on the desktop, Google argues that it is doing it in order to open up the Cloud to end users. Slapping traditional operating systems, Google revealed that the platforms in existence were all initially adepts of a web-less environment, and the result of desktop-centric designs. This is why the Mountain View company is taking a shot at re-thinking what operating systems are. The Google Chrome Operating System is in this regard what Google referred to as the natural extension of Google Chrome.
Introducing the Google Chrome OS
Users should not expect a mammoth Windows-level operating system from Google. Instead, Chrome OS will be a lightweight operating system that, just as the Chrome browser, is an open-source project. The company revealed that it was already negotiating with original equipment manufacturers to have Chrome OS pre-installed on netbooks in the second half of 2010. In this regard, Google promised that, by the end of 2009, it would provide access to the source code of Chrome OS, and that it would approach the open-source community to debut work on the project.
By tailoring Chrome to netbooks, Google is going against Microsoft. The Redmond company currently dominates the netbook market. At the start of June 2009, data provided by NPD revealed that 98% of all the “small notebook PCs†(netbooks) sold via retail channels in the US were pre-installed with Windows (with Windows XP being the favorite OS). But unlike the open-source community, Google has the necessary financial resources and connections to steal territory away from Microsoft.
“Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. 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,†Pichai and Upson added.
Google Chrome OS will be tailored to work with both x86 processors but also ARM CPUs. The Mountain View search giant explained the software architecture of the new platform as “Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.†In this regard, Google already benefits from a mature and fully evolved platform development ecosystem. The company explained that applications wouldn’t be developed for the Google Chrome OS but for the Internet. Chrome OS will do nothing more than run the Chrome browser, which in its turn will run Cloud applications.
“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,†Pichai and Upson promised.
Let us wait for another few months for Goolge Chrome Os
