The future of the "Intertoobs"?
Google said late Tuesday that it will launch the Google Chrome operating system, a computer operating system that initially will target netbook computers by offering a faster, better and more secure way for users to access Web-based applications.(h/t reader bob)

RELATED: Not an auspicious start...
Reading between the lines, it appears the top three hardware vendors have little or no relationship with the search and online advertising giant.*
But if Google plans to make inroads into Netbooks and eventually notebooks, that will have to change very soon.

Noring! It's just a windowing system running on top of Linux. From the Google Chrom Blog:
"The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform."
Sooo, not that revolutionary after all. Just another Linux Distro.

"kai says... Just another Linux Distro."
of course, kai... you do realise, with that one simple pronouncement... you just lost 90 percent of your average readers.
"revolutionary", my friend, is in the eye of the average end-user.
which is not apparently... you or any other techgeeks.
i'm just sayin'.
