Google Chrome, the new OS – a tough competitor of Microsoft…

Google stunned the world with the introduction of their new 7-seconds operating system – Chrome OS!
We need to wait a little more to see the release of Google’s new OS though the public had the first preview of it on Thursday. Google officially announced about its Chrome operating system at the press conference which was introduced by Google VP Sundar Pichai and Engineering Director Matthew Papakipos.

After Google Chrome, the browser with over 30 million people using it regularly, Chrome OS is Google’s latest attempt to further its concept of browser-based computing, in which the traditional PC desktop is deemphasized in favor of a completely Web-based experience.

In other words, unlike other operating systems, Chrome OS uses HTML5, for bringing an application like experience right within the browser – without the need for installing anything. Got it now?

Google claims that Chrome OS boots up in only seven seconds. Chrome’s main difference is that applications and other materials that now exist on a user’s hard drive will instead live online.

The Chrome OS allows the reordering of tabs and you can create new windows and group websites/applications. The main aim of Google is the speed, simplicity and security. You can play music, send an instant message or show a quick video while browsing the Web or doing work. The on-screen interface of the operating system looked much like a browser. On top were tabs showing programs for e-mail, documents, a chess game, a book e-reader and more.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year.
