Google Chrome OS Screenshot Today at 10am Pacific Standard Time, Google held their Chrome OS event. In a nutshell, Chrome OS will be a lightweight, instant on operating system designed to support web applications. Unlike the web apps available today however, Google is working on integrating hardware so that they can be used by web apps (ie. webcams, printers, scanners, and anything USB). Initially, Google will be limiting Chrome OS to netbooks only – and netbooks with a solid state drive (SSD) at that. That’s right, you need an SSD to run Chrome OS according to Google. With Chrome OS and your SSD, you should see boot times of 7 seconds into the OS, and another 3 seconds to load a browser and get get online. So, no beta, but Google did announce that as of today, the Chrome OS project is completely open – like the Chrome browser project already is. Google did say that they expect netbooks built for the Chrome OS to be available for retail purchase about a year from now. That doesn’t stop you from getitng an SSD and an early build sooner though! Check out the presentation videos after the break.
