Built Around the Browser, Google's Chrome OS Launches
Posted on: 2009-11-20 16:22:08 New OS is specifically geared towards the netbook market By Jason Mick @ DailyTech A radical new day has dawned for the operating system. Today Google finally aired its long awaited Chrome Operating System. The operating system was detailed at a press conference starting at 1 p.m. EST, and the open source code was posted online just before the start of the presentation. The new operating system brings a dramatically different look and perspective to the market and just may give Microsoft and OS X some tough competition by reinventing a tired old wheel -- the operating system -- offering the first laptop/desktop OS built around the browser and web applications. A Google engineer set the mood for the presentation announcing in the introduction, "Chrome is the foundation of everything we’re doing here."
