Google Chrome OS Launch

Today Google released the code for there new upcoming Chrome OS, and plans to have a netbook running the operating system available for sale before the 2010 holiday season. Google also provided an early demonstration of the web operating system, which sports a Chrome browser-like interface that features application tabs instead of web page tab and a seven second bootup time that is expected to be much faster on its release.

Under the hood, Chrome OS does a few interesting things. The entire root file system partition is read-only, and the user file system is encrypted. You shouldn’t see the user file system as a place to store files – it’s actually a cache. All user data is stored on the internet, and continuously synced. As you probably already anticipated, the operating system updates itself automatically.
