/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It’s been nine months since Google launched
Google Chrome Browser. Already, over 30 million people use it
regularly. Google Chrome was 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 announce a new project that’s a natural
extension of Google Chrome – the Google Chrome Operating System.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that
will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year Google will
open-source its code, and netbooks running 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. The user interface is minimal and most of the user experience
takes place on the web.
The software architecture is simple – Google Chrome running within
a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application
developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will
automatically work and new applications can be written using your
favorite web technologies. 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.
