GOOGLE CHROME OS - Operating System of the future
Google are releasing a new online operating system by the end of the year called Google Chrome OS (Open Source). It is set to replace Windows as far a Netbooks are concerned, the computers it is aimed at.
It will make for a safer place for children to be on.
Now this sounds like my kind of system and I can see it being a real boom when all houses have internet access and for anyone who is not Computer literate and has difficulties sorting out crashes, etc. Can't wait for it and will certainly be having on our Netbooks.

- There are no equivalant of Taskbar, no Registry and no Desktop Icons. If you can use a Browser you can use Chrome OS.
- There is no chance of virus's as all Apps are on the Web and isolated from each other
- Boots up in seconds. This is because the Interface in on the Web so nothing to load. It will be as quick as turning on the TV.
- Cheap to buy. As it will be pre-installed on Netbooks and is free it will bring down the price substantially. I would presume you will be able to get it for current ones too.
- Online data storage, which means you will be able to access it from anywhere, on any computer. So stealing your lapbook does not mean you losing everything. I would assume you will have the option of storing Data locally as well/instead of.
- No need for any software, it will be all online, though you will still be able to have your own if you want to I suppose.
- Integrated Media Player so you can still watch films, listen to your own music, etc.
- No Plug-ins required such as Adobe Reader, Flash and Silverlight. PDF files will be able to be read by the browser.
- Open Source which allows developers to play around with Chrome OS and improve and enhance it.
- Better battery life. Batteries could last all day as the Netbook will be working with nothing other than the screen.
It will make for a safer place for children to be on.
