Google Chrome OS (Operating System)



Posted by: theworldwidegeek Date: Sunday November 22nd 2009

Google Chrome OS source code was released a few days ago. It is still in pre-alpha but people now know what to expect from Chrome OS. It is not done at all yet, so many features don't work. All Chrome OS is, is a modified version of Google's Chrome web browser. It functions almost exactly the same. Google Chrome OS is just a web browser operating system. All that you can do is use the internet. I think this is great because many people buy computers only to go on the internet. Most people use the internet at least 80% of the time they are on their computer. They check email, go on twitter, myspace, facebook, youtube, etc. To sign into Chrome OS, you have to use your gmail account, and it signs you into your gmail immediately. When you sign in, you are brought to your google calendar. It doesn't matter whose computer you are on, you can access the same apps that you have on your computer on anybody's computer anywhere. This isn't that amazing since it is just your gmail account settings and email, but it is still a nice feature. I think that Google Chrome OS is especially great for notebooks. Most people buy notebooks only to go on the internet. On Google Chrome OS, the internet is literally everything. Anyway, these are just my thoughts on Google Chrome OS. I think it is a great idea and I think it will be a especially great OS for netbooks.

thanks for reading
