ChromeOS - just like I dreamed back in 2006

Mon 23 Nov 2009 07:02:34 | 13 comments

Google has unveiled its upcoming browser based operating system, Chrome OS. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a video: (via Webrazzi)

It is pretty similar to what I described 3 years ago on ReadWriteWeb: GoogleOS: What to Expect. In this article, I was proposing 3 scenarios, but my pick was the ByzantineOS one, which pretty much resembles to what we see today.

I'm eager to download and give it a try. Did anyone see it live, is dual boot hassle-free? I don't think I can give up Windows right away - which also makes me think Google may either offer a Windows in the cloud service (or let Microsoft do it via Azure) or acquire virtualization technology inside Chrome OS.

You need a netbook to be able to fully test its all features. If you can find one, my Ubuntu is ready to compile the image ;)

Look, the idea of a browser OS is obvious. I ask non-technical people about what they use a computer for, and they can’t come up with anything which is NOT in the browser. Why have native code, viruses, trojan horses, and all that mess? Google Gears and other systems like Dojo Offline let you store state and files for a specific browser app. Adding interfaces to bridge between JS and mounting a file system via usb or bluetooth isn’t that hard.
