Google to Unveil Chrome OS Tomorrow?
Itching to know more about Google's Chrome OS? So are we. Luckily enough, the company is set to reveal all about the software tomorrow.
TechCrunch reports that Google is planning a Chrome OS event for this coming Thursday. While the Google operating system won't be launching tomorrow, the company is said to be lifting the lid and providing a lot of details about launch, showing off some demos and discussing the technical background of it all.
Although Google is going to go into great detail about the Chrome OS, the actual launch won't happen until sometime next year. That said, if Google's willing to show demos and go into to great depth about the software, I'd bet the mortgage we won't be waiting until through Q2'10 for this one.

Dude those are the colors of the word "Google"
This OS should be interesting to say the least. Maybe it won't be anything big, but a spark in competition would be nice. Still any successful OS will need to have the compatibility that Windows has.
I'm pretty sure they weren't "expecting" it to run Windows. They were just pointing out that they don't think the OS will replace Windows or be a real competitor without having large-scale compatibility.
Yeah many Linux people says that Linux is easy enough even today, but for any normal Mr. Smith, it's not so easy to get everything working without some help from "real" linux user. If Google can make Android so easy to use and install, that everybody can use it without much effort, Android may have a future! I doupt that it ever will be a gaming platform, but for any normal computer user, it may be alternative. Google is so big name at this moment, that it is possible. One other company that could really do it, would be Microsoft itself. If Microsoft would make an easy to use, standardiced Linux distribution it allso would have some change to make it through, but even to them it would not be an easy task. Linux is a great platform, but even now it need some extra punch. It has been coming more, and more user friendly all the time, so it is possible to that one day we have Windows, Linux and Apple Os for customers to chose from. I hope that Android will bring that day closer!
The vast majority of computer owners probably don't go beyond office type applications and internet surfing, these people also need something thats super user friendly or else they get frustrated and quit on the technology... Google could make this user-friendly non-windows environment happen.
Disclaimer: this coming from someone building his own CarPC, ha. I just need to finish the electrical wiring and it'll be done!!!
i'm afraid there's no way to compete with that.....
I hope their OS is nothing like their browser. If it is... no thanks.
Never say never.
Edison could have said "There are just too many people using candles, no way to compete with that" but he didn't.
Innovation combined with determination always wins out.
That being said I will wait and see about this chrome, but so far I haven't seen anything impressive.
