Google Chrome Browser & the Operating System Concept

The software world is developing in a very fast pace and the need for information and knowledge is increasing day by day. Unlike the past, Every day something new is comming and changing the life of each and every person in the world. Inventions are happening every day and the information that is ‘must know’ to us is very huge now and it seems as if it will increase further.

This article explains about one of such one of such development which is Google Chrome Operating System.

It seems as if its time for a change and we should redefine the concept and the defination of the world Operating System that we regularly use while dealing with computer. Netbooks which are small light weihted lap tops that are computers suited for General Computing, accessing Web-Based Applications and rich Internet Applications.

According the the creaters of Google Chrome OS it is an Open Source, Operating System that will initially be targeted at Netbooks. Later on they will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers may be in the second half of 2010.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS.

The Google team is working on it and they are developing it in such a way that it will be very fast to operate. The user interface is simple and very user-friendly.

And as they did for the Google Chrome Browser, they are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the Operating System so that users don’t have to deal with Viruses, Malware and Security Updates.

GoogleChrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and they are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of Netbooks to market. 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 favourite 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.
