and an official presentation in San Francisco,
Google Chromium OS is finally here.
Chromium OS is currently only available as
source code, which you can download and
compile by yourself to create an image file
compatible with any virtual machine solution,
such as VMware or VirtualBox . It's based on
Linux, starts up in seconds and is mainly
designed for the Web.
This is precisely the most outstanding feature
in Google Chromium OS. Almost everything is
web-based, or if you prefer it, in "the Cloud".
Chromium OS is meant to be used with online
apps, and you will store all your files online.
That's what makes it so fast and lightweight:
the OS doesn't need to install anything on
your computer, because you can access
everything online. It's the perfect OS for low-
spec computers like netbooks.
After logging in with your Gmail account,
you're ready to start. Google Chromium OS
may look a bit weird at first, but it's also very
intuitive. Weird because it's completely
different from any OS you may have tried so
far – it's just a web browser –, and intuitive
because a web browser is where we spend
most of the time on any other OS, so there's
no learning curve at all.
Google Chromium OS is undoubtedly a
revolutionary operating system that
challenges us users to change our image of
computers, and the way we've been using
them so far. On the downside, I think this
revolution is still going to take quite some
time, until we get used to a web-only
operating system – not to mention the fact
that Chromium OS is still at a very early
stage of development.
Google Chromium OS is the first step
towards a revolutionary Web-based
operating system that uses online apps and
stores everything on the Internet.
