While rumors hinted earlier this week that it would be possible to test Chrome Operating System, it is actually possible to access the source code of Operating System project called Chromium. Chrome Operating System will be made available in late 2010 and intended to Netbooks who have met the hardware specifications provided by Google. It is necessary that the particular device on which the system is installed is equipped with an SSD. The mechanical disk drives are not supported.
Based on Linux, Chrome Operating System supports the x86 and ARM. It will in fact not really possible for anyone to install Chrome Operating System on his PC as it will be distributed to manufacturers. To qualify, then it will probably need to invest in a Netbook where Chrome Operating System is preinstalled. In less than 10 seconds after starting, it is possible to log in Chrome Operating System. Pichari Sundar, VP of product management at Google, said in fact that it takes 7 seconds to boot and an additional 3 seconds after logging so that the system is operational, against an average of 45 seconds in the PC Windows. The firm MountainView clear that Chrome Operating System is designed for users spending most of their time online. Therefore, the browser is an essential element of Chrome OS, since it is so simple it makes the system. Thus, all the proposed applications in Chrome OS are actually Web applications. We find for example the browser of course, but also Gmail for e-mail, Picasa for photos, Google Docs, etc..
This bias allows the user not having to worry about installing or updating these programs. The downside, the user is not able to install an application, which is the least restrictive. To the main window is not overloaded with icons, Google has thought of integrating the management of virtual desktops in OS chrome. Security is also a major component of Chrome Operating System. Records users can for example contain any xecutable files. They are only designed to store documents. Each boot the PC, the system verifies the integrity of their code and performs an automatic restart if necessary. The various processes Chrome OS are also isolated from each other. Specifically, when one of them raises concern, it does not crash the whole system. A principle that is found for example in Internet Explorer 8 with tabs.
Applications are shown at the top of the screen via a series of tabs. Simply click on a tab to access the desired application, so of course it is present in the tab bar. Otherwise, left of the tab bar if you click on the icon Chrome Operating System, all applications available appear. Just then click on it to the desired application is opened in a new tab or panel, like Notepad. The advantage of panels is that they remain in the foreground: one can navigate between the tabs and thus applications, while having the desired panel visible. We can chat and in the foreground while navigating between tabs in applications or Web pages.
One of the tabs is also a file explorer, what easily navigate between the documents / media files on your PC. If you connect a camera to a Netbook, a panel appears with a list of image files / videos present. It is clearly possible to see a small window next to each document. It should be noted finally that, according to Sundar Pinchas, the Chrome Operating System computers will benefit from interoperability with online versions of well known software, such as Excel spreadsheets of the suite of Microsoft Office. As you will understand, Chromium target Operating System type of device and user specific. It is not for Google to compete head-on and Microsoft Windows – at least for the moment. While a license for Windows 7 is far from given, Chrome Operating System will represent at its output a free alternative that might be of interest to manufacturers of Netbooks – machines very precisely oriented Internet / mobile – wishing to sell mini PC to mobile prices really reduced.

I personally tend to favour SSuite Office’s free office suites. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient.
