“Google recently set loose a working version of its new
Chrome operating system, due for public release in late 2010.
Already there is much interest from a large crowd of international
developers. Much is promised from Google, which feels sure that it
has the right marketing strategy for its network-based operating
system. We take a look at Chrome OS to find out what it
offers…

“What is Google Chrome? It’s really only a web browser
that downloads web applications over the internet. Using Google
Chrome you can connect to and use YouTube or an online email
application. Google docs or similar online office suites can be
accessed. Online calendars and photo albums can also be used. Most
things that you can do with a real operating system can be done. In
an operating system such as Ubuntu or openSUSE, your data is stored
on your hard disk, in the Google operating system, everything is
stored somewhere out there on the internet.”
