Google announces plan to build OS out of Chrome

Google Launches Chrome Operating System


Just when you think all Google has up its sleeve is the removal of some beta labels, the company unveils its plans for an operating system based around its Chrome web browser.


This should be interesting especially for netbooks and low-processing power machines.

still need proof.  They wouldn't announce anything if they didn't have a reasonable idea that they would would have a product ready for public consumption in a year (their stated public release), thus they must have a working version in at least an alpha state right now.  Granted, I would hate for it to be just a version of Android with support for a higher res screen.

It will be just like the Chrome Browser. Quick, but doesn't have plugins. (RE:Apps)
