Google has seriously been on a role lately, with its Android 2.3 OS, The Google Nexus S, the new Google E-Book store and now The launch of the Chrome OS Beta.
Many people were disappointed by the fact that they would have to wait till mid 2011 to get their hands on the Google Chrome OS but those who wish to do testing and give feedback to Google can get their hands on the Beta OS.
The OS has been designed to exclusively work with online applications and is for those who spend majority of their computer time on the internet.
What sets this OS apart from the others is the mere fact that it can boot up in 7 seconds. For people like myself who fall asleep while watching their computers boot up, that fact alone makes this OS worth using. The best part being that Google has said that they will reduce the 7 second boot time.
The most disappointing thing about the OS is that it will be available only on specific hardware, which in my opinion, is a pretty bad idea (Somebody should learn from Apple's mistake).
The OS is based on simplicity and takes a minimalist approach so one can expect the OS to be light and fast.
Google has taken a huge slice of the pie in almost every market. Lets see how they do in the OS market!
