The Mountain View, Calif.-based company, Google disclosed its plans for the operating system (OS) shortly after some online technology news wrote on their Web sites.
Google announced on Tuesday night on official Googleblog.blogspot.com, company is working on a new operating system since nine-month-old Web browser, Chrome. Google intends to rely on help from the community of open-source programmers to develop the Chrome operating system, which is expected to start running laptop computers in the second half of 2010.
Google is designing the operating system primarily for “netbooks,” a lower-cost, less powerful type of laptop computers that is flattering more and more popular among budget-conscious consumers first and foremost interested in surfing the Web.
The company says it’s currently working with a number of OEM manufacturers, and Google estimates about 30 million people are now using its Chrome browser, Chrome operating system will run in a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel - laptop computer coding that has been the foundation for the open-source software movement for nearly two decades.
So far as now we see Google has already introduced an operating system for mobile devices, called Android, that vies against various other systems, including ones made by Microsoft and Apple Inc, the Android system worked well enough to entice some laptop computer makers to begin developing netbooks that will eventually run on it and we believe that will help user netbooks in the future.
