New project, a separate and independent from the system projects Android browser and Google Chrome, but it builds on the existence of thought itself and the company, which focuses on the actual allocated a company working in the area of the Web and what it takes and by means of the services.

And on that basis and according to reports today about Google’s vision for this system, the operating system of Google Chrome OS will be the words of a simple operating system on devices that deal with the Web to do almost everything devices like Netbook and indeed we can say that if realized the company’s vision of the system and gave us all these points that I talked about is incomplete, then we will say “Yes work, so must be the operating systems Netbook”

Vision put forward by the company for the operating system Google Chrome OS almost be perfect already, speak about the operating system very simple, contains the user interface is simple and very direct focus mainly on the Internet browser and services surrounding it, the system unable to boot from zero to start browsing Internet in a few seconds, supports ARM processors and X86 processors, which contains the processor Intel Atom, put safety and security for the user at the top of its priorities to present to the user who will use the system almost exclusively for browsing the Internet a safe environment free from viruses and security threats without the need for a protection programs from viruses and security packages and all that in the system of free open-source based on the structure of Linux.

There are no pictures or other information on the order form and not on the exact date of his appearance, but the company talked about being in the negotiations at the moment with a large number of manufacturers who will bring the system default with some new Netbook and that these devices are loaded system, Google Chrome OS will start to appear starting from the second half of next year 2010.

Yes, this is an imagination of the ideal operating system devices Netbook open source, which tell us a long time ago, Can Google bring this vision to provide its new operating system??! We do not have the answer, but certainly the success in achieving this will ensure the system a great deal of success and a solid footing to compete in this volatile market.

I have therefore tended to official sources within Google to get clear answers to these specific and obvious questions that were asked by some of our readers, and unfortunately I could not their answer because I did not have the definitive word on time. All these answers are from the Department of the company directly, and their words as its reputation.

Will Google Chrome OS system is completely free to get it and use it or there will be a charge for one way or another??

Chrome OS will be completely free

Noted that the emphasis in the official statement came on the computers will be presented a new show mid-2010 system Chrome OS, the question now is will be offered a copy of the rules for download for users of current Netbook, or that the system will be restricted to people who buy devices that are expected to carry a Chrome OS by default?? And when this version will be available for current users in the event of existence??

Yes, there is a high probability that we are introducing a copy of the rules for direct download through Google, but we simply have not finalized all the details on this issue is at the present stage, we focus mainly on new devices that will be issued and provide users with this new experience provided by the Chrome OS. But in general, the code compiler of the system will be open source and available to everyone what will make the possibility of distributing the system and spread a large and accessible to all.

When we will know more details about the interface of the system and the functions and how it software? In short when we will be able to take our view of the first Chrome OS??

Code compiler’s main system Chrome OS will be available for all, open source by the end of this year and then everyone will be able to experience the system and see how it looks and how it works.
