A few days ago, rumors had circulated that Google's Chrome Operating System (Chrome OS) will appear this week.

Normaly scheduled for the second half of 2010, up to know Google didn't unveil not much information about Chrome OS. Chrome OS will be free, it will start up in a few seconds and will instantaneously connect with Internet in order to access web applications without users have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

For this occasion, Google has also announced that Chrome OS has now been open-sourced as part of The Chromium OS Projects and is open and free to the development community. It includes the current code base, user interface experiments, and some initial designs for ongoing development.

So how is Chrome OS?

Chrome OS is based on Linux kernel and Chrome web browser. Besides the interface of Chrome OS is like Chrome.

For the moment Chrome OS is destined for netbooks which support SSD. It will also support both x86 and ARM hardware. Chrome OS is very light, it starts up in a few seconds, "like a TV and not like a PC", and all apps are web apps. The entire experience takes place within the browser and there are no conventional desktop applications. This means users do not have to deal with installing, managing and updating programs.

Software will be web applications located in the web browser tabs. And Chrome OS runs on HTML5 and supports also Flash

What do you think of Chrome OS (interface, ergonomics...) ? Do you think you will use it?

Ah, Google, why couldn't you stick to your search engine? Then you wouldn't be wasting your money on what looks to be a gigantic flop.
