Today Google announced the release of their new operating system Google Chrome OS.

This is the follow up to the Google Chrome Browser which has had some success reaching about 10% market share. (based on data from http://marketshare.hitslink.com/).

The Google operating system is an open source alternative to Linux, offering a very fast and lightweight OS, which will probably load fast and work well (like most other Google products). We all know that Windows is a BIG, heavy and slow operating system, and although Windows 7 is a great improvement over Vista, it is by no means efficient.

The one problem I see with the release of the Google Chrome OS is that there are two kinds of people in the world; the Windows people who fear anything “not Microsoft Windows” and the tech savvy Microsoft hate group of Linux Users (who tend to love http://www.ubuntu.com/). I am not really sure where the market for the Google Chrome OS is coming from? I guess they may be able to peel a little off both groups, but the Microsoft Windows Users really think that their computers will not work without Windows.

I may have to take a closer look at the Google OS, will update you on my direct experience.
