Google already has a mobile OS called ANDROID, and I am sure everyone is familiar with it — but now Google is developing an operating system (OS) for personal computers [ said to be called Google Chrome OS ], in a direct market challenge to the leader Microsoft and Windows OS.

The Google Chrome OS could be on sale by the middle of 2010. With speed, simplicity and security being the main objectives of it’s OS and running on an open source license [ we love open source - for designers and web developers ].

The Google OS is said to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you on to the web in a few seconds. Google’s intent is to redesign the security architecture, so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. “It should just work,” says Google.

The OS is designed for the web world ! Google is very serious about making the web into a foundation not just for static pages but for active applications [ cloud computing ], and services that reside on the web own such as Google Docs and G-mail.

To sum it all up – we’re very excited ! Google is dropping an OS that seems to work together with cloud computing, active web applications as well as web designed pages. This is definitely part of our future, however how it all plays out we don’t know for sure – but we’re glad Google is working on it and according to Google more than 1.75 million companies use Google apps already !
