According to their blog:
Google Chrome OS is an arguable provenience, lightweight operating set-up that desire initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we desire open-source its criterion criteria, and netbooks meeting Google Chrome OS desire be result in doused sooner than in compensation consumers in the double half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners fro the out, and we’ll happily be working with the arguable provenience community, we wanted to part our delusion every now so actually understands what we are tiring to reach.
Speed, uprightness and asylum are the sympathetic aspects of Google Chrome OS. The consumer interface is least to freeze doused of your modus operandi, and most of the consumer landslide takes function on the network. We’re double-dealing the OS to be licentious and lightweight, to start up and accede to you onto the network in a manage seconds.
And as we did in compensation the Google Chrome browser, we are growing tush to the basics and come what may redesigning the underlying asylum architecture of the OS so that users don’t suffer with to administer with viruses, malware and asylum updates. It should just result in. The software architecture is feeble-minded – Google Chrome meeting within a under age windowing set-up on tip of a Linux pip.
Google Chrome OS desire flee on both x86 as highly as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to delineate a few of netbooks to shoppers in next year.
For utilization developers, the network is the lectern. All web-based applications desire automatically result in and under age applications can be written using your favorite network technologies. And of unmistakably, these apps desire flee not just on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest consumer mistreated of any lectern.
