The Google Chrome OS was launched in beta in December last year, and should hopefully be winging its way to our shelves in the first half of 2011.
The underlying principle behind Google Chrome OS is that it is all web based. You run all your apps in the ‘cloud’, they are all browser based apps not desktop. However they should still work when you are in offline mode. The OS is device independent, it is designed to give the same experience no matter which device you pick up. Google are also claiming it is the most secure desktop environment ever shipped, having a guest mode to allow other to use your machine without viewing your information, and also a boot verify, so if the OS have changed since last boot you can roll back to the last know good configuration.
The OS is fast, allowing you to go from being switched off, to being live and ready for action in 10 seconds, this is due to both the fact it uses solid state storage and also fact Chrome OS has been optimised for speed. Once the results of beta are back, hopefully google will start to ship the devices and the OS.
