No, they don't have an operating system.

You obviously didn't read the bottom of the page:

Google, Google Icons, and the Google Logo are trademarks of Google Inc. Cloud and gOS are not affiliated with Google or their partners.


As for Chrome OS, I'll be interested to try it, I didn't realize it was going to be out this soon!

Google Could Double Web Speeds With SPDY Protocol.

Slowly but surely, we're getting an idea of what Google's Chrome OS will look like. We know that it will be Linux-based and that the primary interface will likely be the Chrome browser. Still, the search giant was not content to simply turn a Web browser into an operating system.

Hi JStergis,

What is obvious is your specious statement about whether I did or did not read the bottom of the page. Further, I made no claims about whether they have or do not have an operating system. The assumptions you make are about the author of the article - and in no way shape or form have anything to do with my posting a link to the article.

Google has announced full details of its Chrome OS, although admitted that the operating system is still a year away from launch.

Google said it plans to officially launch Chrome OS by the end of next year

Google said consumers won't be able to download the operating system - it will only be available on hardware that meets Google's specifications. Hard disks are banned, for instance, while Google said it will also specify factors such as screen sizes and display resolutions.

But they did release the source code, build your own.

8 Things You Need to Know about Chrome OS.

Google pulled the wraps off of Chrome OS today. You can expect to see Chrome ship in about a year, and showed the first glimpses of the new OS, details about the architecture, the hardware it will run on, and gave us the first hints about what the Google Cloud OS will really look like.

I don't know how much of a can the required Internet access actually is. I mean how much time to people spend using their computers *without* an Internet connection these days?

It's true most still run their apps locally but it using online apps to access your data is fast enough, it shouldn't matter to the end user where the app *actually* runs as long as it works and is reliable.

Peace...

If all the apps are web-based, does that mean if I had a computer with Chrome OS installed, it wouldn't work in the basement of the KY building at my school? (the only area where Wi-Fi is 100% dead, the basement area holds 20 classrooms)

[tomdkat]

It probably wouldn't work in the basement of the KY building at your school. If you spend a significant amount of time in the basement of the KY building at your school, you probably don't want a Netbook running Google's OS.

Peace...

It wasn't directed at you, Tom. A post was deleted, because right after yours someone had said they don't understand why Google is releasing a second operating system, as they already have one, with a link to this page: http://www.thinkgos.com/

I probably should have quoted the post, I apologize. I can't remember who made it.
