Chrome OS? from Google?

In what is certain to be the biggest tech story of the summer, Google is finally making official what has been rumored for years: It will create its own computer operating system, Chrome OS, slated for release in late 2010.

And well before the company unleashed its own web browser, Chrome, many had long since assumed that Google had been preparing to release an operating system. When the Chrome browser was released instead, many observers actually saw it as a bit of a letdown in the news department.

What do you guys think? Will they make it better than any other OS's?

I have experienced the internet service provider’s market penetration
I have dealt with the Push and pull of the Cable vs. Satellite

I have yet to see a real good OS Microsoft vs.? Linux tried but its still way to complicated for most users and the industry still prefers Microsoft. I say Google bring it on!; ▶ Reply to This
