For years there have been rumors that Google would release an OS that would take over the world. The taking over the world part doesn’t seem very likely, but Google has announced an OS.
Their new OS will arrive in later 2010, and is aimed at netbooks. Not surprisingly, the OS is both open-source and Linux-based.
Apparently, the main idea is to create a lightweight OS that will boot to a web browser in just a few steps. From there, you can use the web browser to access Google services.
With so few datails, it is difficult to to know anything more about it, but a Google OS sounds promising, as long as it doesn’t take over the world

I dont get it. Google is going to release its own op system based on Linux, yet there is no Chrome browser for Linux. How does that work?
as long as google gets the support linux is missing (hardware and software), port all their products and keeps the OS open (like they said), am fine with it.
i wouldn’t mind at all they shiping in a few million netbooks and gaining some good marketshare
hopefully it will become a full fledge OS, LTS + rolling release
am sure they will use their own minimalist window manager (so they don’t become just “another” distro) and control the time frame of releases, will stay compatible with gnome or kde (but not tied to their release schedule like every other distro ), which is a good strategy
i love ubuntu. but they really need to focus more on their LTS’s
am sure google will get it right from the start
2010 will be a wonderful year for linux.
DaveS – LOL. I agree. I guess that the developer preview of Chrome for Linux will be a little more final when Chrome OS arrives.
