Google search engine, Chrome OS

Operating system from Google search engine authority, Chrome OS, ready to be downloaded next week. Thus the gossip on the Internet.

The bad news, though Google says it has worked with Acer, Adobe, Asus, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Toshiba on its OS Chrome, the number of devices that support earlier this operating system will be limited. According to TechCrunch, these limitations are due to the absence of support for basic components such as network interface hardware and graphics cards. As a result you will not be able to download the Chrome OS and run it on any machine.

Google initially said that the netbook that can run this OS will not be available to the public before the second semester of 2010. However, the code might be open (open source) in the coming weeks, as promised in Google Chrome Blog.

Also Chrome web browser - no kacaukandengan Chrome OS, despite the same name - will be coming to Apple machines in December. In a letter to the developers, Nick Baum (Project Manager Chrome browser) says that the Chrome beta version of 4.0 that was only available for Windows and Linux will also be present in the Apple Mac. For your information, Google launched Chrome browser in 2008 and currently still in experimental stages.
