Hello ChromeOS

I’ve been up all night for the official announcement of ChromeOS from Google which is scheduled to be released next year.

Here’s are some of the details:

- instant boot
- every app is a web app
- all data is in the cloud

- browser security model- reference hardware
- you can’t download Chrome OS and install it on your machine
- the only way to install the OS is to buy a Chrome OS machine (*)
- the target launch time: the end of next year

Even though I’m skeptical about (*) I’m still excited about the year ahead.  For more details, you can visit the the Official Blog Entry from Google.

  • It doesn't seem like an OS for power users though. Well, just based on the video you showed.

  • It looks neat and simple. We'll wait for more developments from Google. Hopefully it turns out well.

  • I honestly like the idea of “Everything is in the Cloud”, though I have doubts about it fast adaption. I think for casual users, this could become handy but for large corporations and businesses I think it would still require some major push from Google.

  • I'm still having connection problems logging in. I've tried every possible combination on the network settings and even playing around with the OS flavor but still no luck. I guess this just shows how crippled you are without the internet if you use chrome. :D Imagine, instead of the old BSOD, you butt “Darn! I'm disconnected! whoaa!” hehe
