Google Continues to Expand: Google Chrome OS is in the works!

Google has announced their newest, coolest, and biggest project yet. To keep up with the tough competition (Microsoft), Google is now entering the operating system field. Google Chrome Operating System is the newest idea in the works.

Like Windows or Linux or MacOS, Google Chrome OS will be a host of applications, coordinating activities between programs and users. Google says that the operating system will focus on speed, simplicity, and security. One goal in the security of the OS is to achieve an underlying security system hidden from users, allowing users to avoid viruses, malware, and security updates.

Believed to hit stores in the fall of 2010, Google Chrome OS will be for PCs only. The new OS will be built around the relatively young Google Chrome browser that was released in December of 2008. The baby browser has already attracted more than 30 million users, claims Google. By centering the OS around the Google Chrome Browser, Google is aiming to redefine the operating system. They are trying to keep the real focus in mind, Internet use with as few obstacles as possible. Google says in their announcement, “the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web… It’s our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.”

Google has already been thought of as a huge force in the Search Engine world, maybe we’ll be talking about them in the OS and computer making business in a few years. The possibilities are endless!
