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

Demo:

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.
