Google Chrome OS UI Concept Video (REAL)
20 November, 2009
Finally a real video for the Chrome OS
Google did a press event demoing their Chrome OS. Here’s what we know about Chrome OS:
- It will be launched next year (they wanted to cash in on Microsoft’s PDC09. Cheapos!)
- It’s ONLY meant for Netbooks.
- The OS looks exactly like the Chrome browser.
- It’ll be locked to the hardware, like Apple the OS will come bundled on Netbooks.
- It is an Open Source project and bits are available for developers now.
- It is based on Debian. It’s basically just another Linux distro.
- Everything you do will be stored online. Notes and documents will be synced to Google Docs.
- No native applications.
- The current build can be compiled and installed on any machine.
- An App store is likely & no word on weather it will support Android apps, nothing certain but maybe.
Here is the Google Chrome OS Youtube Channel

A web browser-based OS only relying on the internet? sounds like uncool. What if you’re on a dead-zone(no internet connection wired or wireless)??

@anjelo: Pretty stupid, and like chrome every action you do in the OS will be sent to Google. No freedom of privacy. I will stay away from it at all costs.

@anjelo:
Well.I don’t think that Google is stupid enough to do so.

@Meena Bassem:
Not really. The offline feature in Gmail won’t work in Chrome OS. Like they say in the video “Nothing will be stored on your computer”.
