Google Chrome OS

A Linux-based operating system from Google that is designed for Web-based applications and cloud computing. Initially targeted for netbooks and other lightweight portables, Google Chrome OS runs on x86 and ARM processors. Announced in 2009, Chrome OS was released to a select group of beta testers in late 2010 and is expected to be released in 2011. Its design goals are to boot up fast and remain efficient throughout the computer's life span as well as require the least amount of user configuration. Chrome will be offered with the Chrome Web browser, and users must have an Internet connection or else the Chrome OS computers cannot function.

Chrome OS laptops have physical keys that replicate Web browser buttons and forego some of the standard keyboard keys such as Caps Lock. The OS is integrated with the laptop and cannot be installed on traditional hardware. Stay tuned! See Google Chrome and cloud computing.
