Google has announced that they are working on a operating system. This Chrome OS will most likely be open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Details are limited at this time, But we know that it will run on both ARM and x86 chips, and we know that we’ll see netbooks running the software in the latter half of 2010 (Google says its already talking to partners). Because they’re stripping everything down and going back to OS basics, users won’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. According to Google, “It should just work.”
For people wondering if Google will make the Chrome OS free or charge for the software. The answer is yes, the Chrome OS is open source and will be free.
