Google Chrome OS Download Could Be Just A Week Away!
If Michael Arrington of TechCrunch has his sources in place, it seems likely that the much talked about Google Chrome OS could be available for download in a week. Yes, that’s right a week!
Ever since the project was announced in July, experts have debated what Google’s ‘New Era’ OS would be like. There have been ‘alleged’ screenshots and even ‘fake’ torrents doing the rounds on the internet. The wait could be over, there is a catch however. Only those with supported devices will be able to use this version. The company had announced earlier that it is working with the likes of Acer, HP, Freescale, Adobe, Qualcomm, ASUS, Texas Instruments and Toshiba.
There is also concern over the availability of hardware drivers as it is believed that Google is leaving that task to the hardware manufacturers.
Chrome OS is expected to rely heavily on web apps for most of its functioning, a kind of ’switch-on OS’ instead of the ‘boot-up OS’ that we are all accustomed to. It will also be interesting to see how different this will be from the Android capable netbooks that are currently in the market. Experts have expressed some disappointment stating that they do not have enough control over the machine. Than again,these ‘Experts’ are unlikely to use netbooks.
Will Chrome OS be able to strike a balance between the power of the computer and the power of the internet?
