Rapid Web News

Finally some news on the Google OS! Netbooks, apparently, will be the first hardware that sees Google’s shiny new software in 2010. It will be open source like Ubuntu so developers can tinker and contribute; they’ve claimed it will be ‘Blazingly Fast’ using a system of ‘Cloud Computing’ built around Google’s web browser released last year.

Sundar Pichai, Google’s vice president of product management stated; “…With Google Chrome OS, we’ve made computing faster, easier and safer than ever before. While we still have a long way to go, we are excited by the progress we have made so far and look forward to developing the technology in the open with the help of the open source community. We want it to be like a TV – turn it on and it’s booted up…”

Although this statement was quite puzzling, seeing how they’re keeping it open source; “…As a consumer, you can’t go download Chrome OS, you will have to go and buy a Chrome OS device…” but as ever I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
