Chrome operating system will run on an open source license

July 13th, 2009

google-os-liveGoogle’s announcement Chrome OS comes at an interesting time where Microsoft is poised to launch its new operating system Windows 7. Google said netbooks with Chrome OS could be on sale by the middle of 2010. The key aspects of Google Chrome OS will be Speed, simplicity and security.

The operating system, which will run on an open source license, was a natural extension of its Chrome browser. Google already has an operating system for mobile phones called Android which can also be used to run on netbooks.

Last year Google launched the Chrome browser, which it said was designed for people who live on the web – searching for information, checking e-mail, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends.

Google won’t charge for the Chrome operating system, Schmidt said it could easily pay off by driving down the cost of computers so people can afford to buy more machines and surf the Web more often. Google Chrome OS will be aimed not just at laptops but also at desktops for those who spend a lot of time on the web.
