Some of the points mentioned in that FAQ were:

  • Google Chrome OS is going to be opensource, apparently free of cost.
  • Google Chrome OS is planned to be released in later half of 2010
  • Interested developers who wish to apply work full time may apply for a job at the links given in the FAQ on Google Chrome blog.
  • Part time developers can help Google OS in development once the project is open sourced in the second half of this year.

    Chrome OS is just another rebranded Linux GUI, it would be much better if Google came up with an OS that would directly compete with Windows.

    I have installed Chrome OS on one of my netbooks and the performance of Chrome OS is just okay. there is nothing fancy or very special about it. It was just a sort of GUI version of linux or something.

    oh yes thats true, google chrome os is a linux kernel.

    Google OS is built for netbooks. All you have to do is switch on your computer. A basic linux kernel that is capable of connecting to the internet would get loaded. It would then give you access to remote applications that sit on Google servers.

    If you want to create a word doc, presentation or excel sheet you have Google docs.

    If you want to access your email, you have gmail and other web-based mail.

    If you want to store something, you have Google drives, that are larger than our imagination. You could have as many drives as you want.

    If you want any other desktop application, you can install it remotely on google servers. Your account is yours and nobody can access it. Its kind of hiring webspace.

    If you wanted to download something, it would be lightening fast as Google servers themselves download stuff for you.

    Soon Google guys would release API for developing applications for this kind of Cloud Computing architecture of os.

    Who knows they may transform today’s internet world!!
