[PLUG] Google formally announces Chrome OS, to be based on linux kernel

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

Sorry if this has been posted already, I get the digest.

> Google will launch its own operating system in the second half of next year, finally launching a direct assault on Microsoft's crown jewel.
> 
> (It has been headed here in all but name for the past two years.  But last night it finally declared war.)
> 
> The OS will initially be targeted to netbooks, then broadened to all PCs.  It will be a combination of a Google Chrome browser and a Linux kernel.  It will be a different project than Android.  It will be designed to be simple and fast.  It will also, presumably, be free.
