Google has just announced the launch of Google Operating System – Google Chrome OS. Microsoft has always targeted Google’s search business and had recently started BING search engine to cut into Google’s revenue considerably. And now, Google has struck a super-blow with the announcement of Google Chrome OS.

The Google Operating System – Google Chrome OS

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year they will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

Why Google Operating System – Google Chrome OS was Created

According to Google : We hear a lot from our users and their message is clear — computers need to get better. People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them. They want their data to be accessible to them wherever they are and not have to worry about losing their computer or forgetting to back up files. Even more importantly, they don’t want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware, or have to worry about constant software updates. And any time our users have a better computing experience, Google benefits as well by having happier users who are more likely to spend time on the Internet.

Seems Really Interesting… Well we have to wait for more updates in the fall and have a great summer with the OS.
