I am passionate about Google Chrome, and that’s why I started this blog. I was very much passionate about Google Android, because I thought it will become an operating system for netbooks and laptops very soon. I used to imagine how it will be, when Google releases an operating system.

Now, the story of Google Chrome has a twist. It’s going to become an operating system. It’s not Android that will see being developed as an OS for netbooks and laptops, but that’s ok, we will  still get an operating system from Google.

What is Google Chrome OS

I know that you have already read enough about google chrome operating system from various sources. Still, this post won’t be complete without mentioning what it is.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.

That’s from the Official Google Blog.
