Chrome OS can start a PC in less than 7 seconds
Mountain View, California: New Google software will start up a computer as fast as a television, according to Google, as it showed off its Chrome operating system designed for computers that do their work on the Web. "From the time you press boot you want it to be like a TV: You turn it on and you should be on the Web using your applications," said Sundar Pichai, Vice-President of Product Management for Google's Chrome OS.

According to Pichai, those computers running Chrome OS will be able to start in less than seven seconds. Netbooks running Chrome OS will only be able to run Web applications and the user's data will automatically be stored on the Web in the so-called cloud of Internet servers, Google executives said at an event at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters on Thursday.

"It's basically a Web browsing machine," said Altimeter Group Analyst, Charlene Li. Google said that the software will initially be available by the holiday season of 2010 on low-cost netbooks that use memory chips to store data instead of slower hard drives, the current standard.

Google gave the world the first peek at its Chrome OS four months after declaring its intention of developing the PC's main software, a move that pits it directly against Microsoft and Apple. True to Google's Internet-pedigree, the Chrome OS resembles a Web browser more than it does a traditional computer operating system like Microsoft Windows, matching Google's ambition to drive people to the Web, where they can see Google ads. With Chrome, Google is seeking to challenge the dominance of Microsoft's Windows, which runs on nine out of 10 personal computers.

Google said it is giving away the software for free, similar to its Android smartphone software, with the idea that improving the Web experience will ultimately benefit its Internet search advertising business, which generated roughly $22 billion in revenue in 2008.

Google made the computer code for the Chrome OS available to outside developers on Thursday, allowing developers to tinker with the software and potentially design new applications to run alongside it. But, the company said Chrome at least initially will not be able to run on just any PC, and executives said they expected that most consumers would get the operating system when they buy a specially-designed netbook.

Google said that all data in Chrome will automatically be housed in the so-called cloud, or on external servers and also cached on the computer's internal hardware to boost performance. It also said that the Chrome applications, which are used for such everyday tasks such as word processing and email, will be Web-based.

2: This is bogus
To connect to internet takes atleast 20 seconds. Also most of the time connection speed matters.
Once all the top officials sell their stocks all this bogus will go away. Next they will say they can give internet connection in Moon. I never trust goog

4: It's seems that Chrome OS works only for systems connected to Internet. Not all systems will be connected to internet at all times. Also, Speed of internet varies some times due to load on network, etc. So, performance is network dependent. Let's wait and see. waiting for Chrome OS, hoping it to be the best from google as always.

Its not just an Google invention, its actually an INDIAN invention by S.Shankar of American Megatrends Inc. (AMIBIOS).

It's BIOS which begins (BOOTS) your PC and NOT an Operating System.

AMI will be launching new Fast BIOSes for Mobiles and Netbooks.

28: The concept is great, but then two issues to be seen to. One is about the possibility of one suddenly losing Internet Connection, just like the scenario when Jesus Christ was going to be Crucified and his Father (God) couldn't connect to him and enable his miraculous powers.
Second, the fact that government agencies in all the nations can demand Google to open up anyone's database for their inspection. Any googly nation's (including India's) Judiciary can send a statutory request for this. What about privacy then?

I dont see anything good about this so called OS which can make it better OS than anything available.It will be just like any other freeware software with the intention to make money with selling ads.

Hey.. you are talking about Google and not microsoft. Google has emerged as Innovator in past few years.
For your Data security, you can check google's existing Web Hard Drive(Gmail Drive on ur PC). Google has already tested this technology about 3 years back. So data will be safe always without any tension of Hard Drive crash. So it Makes ur data safe and Easily approachable

How about thinking this way - Most of the data that you want to have requires internet to access, as its only available at one of the clouds. You would look around searching wi-fi zones

Great going ... btw the whole hype about cloud has one major disadvantage. Since everything is out of the cloud the connection speed should be exponentially fast to carry data back and forth. cloud is at its nascent stage and so is high speed bandwidth. when both reach an optimum level, cloud is going to rule.

I have authored a blog on cloud computing. You could check that our for a basic understanding - http://www.xioni.in/blog/index.cfm/2009/11/9/Oh-Cloudia
