Chrome OS is basically an operating system based around the Google Chrome web browser. It’s designed to surf the web and run web apps rather than native apps although users will be able to run some web apps such as Google Docs even when there’s no Internet connection available.The lightweight Chrome runs on both x86 (Intel Pentium and Atom Family) as well as ARM chip architectures, which means it can support desktops and laptops.
Sundar Pichai, Vice President for product management at Google Inc said, “Chrome OS, currently in test version, is essentially a free software but it will only be available with the new device being shipped by our partners like Samsung & Acer. We are working with multiple OEMs to bring number of netbooks to market next year”
Pankaj Arora, MD of Protiviti Consulting, said “Google Chrome is bound to bring down PC prices, given that it will be open source and will not have associated licensing fees but it will be interesting to watch how easy it will be for Google to convince manufacturers to move away from Microsoft and produce Chrome OS netbooks”
Microsoft controls over 90% of the world’s market and 98% of India’s operating system market.
Tech analysts feel that Chrome OS, which is aimed at netbooks, might lose out if tablet PCs swamp netbook market.
