After the huge uproar of google wave, google has come out with google chrome OS. We all know, it was up for release since a long time. On Thursday, Google inc announced opening of its much hyped chrome OS to external developers.
The company hosted a media event on Thursday to show off the free cloud-based software, which it hopes to have on the market in netbooks ahead of the 2010 holiday season. The emphasis on google chrome is on speed,security and simplicity like many other google products. The software claims to boot the PC in a record time of 7 seconds and Google said it is hoping to cut the boot time further.
But google is planning to specify certain hardware requirements initially. By opening up Chrome’s source code, Google hopes to encourage outside developers to innovate on top of its operating system and design new applications.
With Chrome, Google is seeking to challenge the dominance of Microsoft Corp’s which boasts of running its OS on nine out of every ten computers in the world. Will we see a rush from geeks all around the world for chrome OS as we have witnessed for google wave. Let’s wait and watch.
