Google held an event today to preview their upcoming OS called Chrome. Let me hit the highlights for you:
- The OS is aimed at netbooks for the most part.
- One of the main focus items is booting the OS quickly. According to Google, that’s currently down to 7 seconds.
- Hard drives are verboten. Chrome will instead use flash memory and remote cloud storage.
- “Chromium OS” is an open source version which will allow any interested developers to contribute to developing the best possible operating system. More details in the Google blog.
A video of what the OS looks like is below
